The Challenge
Overcoming Content Fragmentation in a Multi-System Environment
Disparate content management across multiple platforms
Inefficient manual localization processes
Need for scalable solution to support global expansion
As a leader in data storage solutions, Western Digital was challenged to manage and localize content across its global markets. With content spread across three primary systems—AEM, Vasont, and Marketo—and six separate departments, the company struggled with inefficient, manual localization processes. This fragmentation resulted in slower time-to-market for new products and marketing materials. The lack of a centralized content strategy impeded Western Digital's capacity to scale its localization efforts efficiently, potentially limiting its growth in international markets.
The Solution
Centralized Localization Workflow with GlobalLink Technology
GlobalLink implementation
Multi-system integration
Automated content workflow
TransPerfect's GlobalLink technology provided Western Digital with a centralized content management solution. By seamlessly integrating with AEM, Vasont, and Marketo, GlobalLink created a unified workflow that automated content extraction, translation, and reintegration across all systems. This integration eliminated manual copy-pasting tasks and created a single source for all localized content. The solution enabled Western Digital to scale its language offerings, supporting the company's global expansion strategy while maintaining consistency across all markets.
The Results
30% faster turnaround times for localized content
22% increase in overall revenue
400% increase in e-commerce conversion (surpassing 50% goal)

With a 30% reduction in localization turnaround times, the company can now respond quickly to market demands and product launches. The unified approach has not only streamlined internal processes but also significantly improved business outcomes. Western Digital experienced a 22% increase in overall revenue and a remarkable 400% increase in e-commerce conversion rates, far exceeding its initial goal of 50%. This success demonstrates the powerful impact of efficient, scalable localization on global market performance and customer engagement.
