We don't come to the table with all the answers. Every client situation is unique and demands a unique solution. So we begin our efforts by asking questions. We probe into the business processes, the technical environment, the desired outcome - and we listen carefully to your answers. That way, the solutions we build address the needs of your business - we apply technology and services with a purpose.
But when it comes time to start adding languages to a product, or supporting product materials, well, then we have some pretty clear ideas on how to ensure success.
Developed and fine-tuned over the years, ABLE's innovative Methodology™(AiM) is an effective, unique yet flexible discipline that allows us to meet your localization needs every time. With this methodology, deliverables are released to market more rapidly with fewer costs all while guaranteeing the highest quality.
What follows is an overview of our
Process,
Technology and
Commitment.
To request an AiM™ Localization Handbook, that details our quality process, please contact your ABLE Innovations' sales representative.
Our Process
AiM™ is a formal*, documented
methodology that integrates innovative tools with skilled
people to yield consistent results—and always without
tying our clients to any proprietary technology. Our ISO 9001:2000-compliant
processes are strictly followed and build quality into every
step, ensuring repeatable success on each and every client
engagement.
Our reliable, scalable processes are adaptable enough to meet
each client's specific needs while our solid, efficient infrastructure
earns trust. This six-step process and accompanying toolkit
of industry standard and internally developed tools optimizes
workflow, maximizes productivity and helps support The ABLE Guarantee™ for Quality, Cost Savings and On-Time Delivery.
*Note: Standards are important - both to ABLE Innovations and our clients. Therefore, the methodology is based on the
Project Management Body Of Knowledge Guide
(PMBOK®), 2000 Edition (approved by ANSI as American National Standard ANSI/PMI 99-001-2000) and on ISO9001:2000.

Our Commitment
There is a Japanese term, kaizen, that means "to make small, incremental, steady improvement." As a practitioner approaches the top of his or her craft, improvements come in small increments. The lazy practitioners begin to get smug about their skill level and do not see the small improvements as worthwhile. The earnest practitioners see the power of small improvements, especially when more are consistently added, day by day, forever. At ABLE, we have whole-heartedly adopted the 'Spirit of Kaizen' and commit to constant, incremental, unrelenting improvement.
