Why are SDL and TRADOS joining together?

SDL's Anwer about Why are SDL and TRADOS joining together?

We believe there is enormous added value in teaming up the world's two leading translation software providers. Not only will the merger lead to more valuable and powerful products, but we can also provide them with a lower cost of ownership.

What does this mean for me?
The merger means that we now have even greater focus and resources to strengthen and better serve the globalization ecosystem - the strong relationship among all players in the translation process bound by a common technology. Research and development efforts and distribution channels can now be shared, leading to significant economies of scale and a less fragmented market, of which translators, translation companies and corporations are certain to benefit.
Our goal is to provide software that enables all players in our industry (corporations, LSPs and translators) to perform at their highest potential.

What is the future for SDL and TRADOS Desktop products?
We will continue to support your current version of SDLX and TRADOS. In fact, all customers who purchase or upgrade to the latest version of SDLX 2005 and/or TRADOS 7 will receive a 5 Year Product Commitment. This commitment guarantees that we will continue to support SDLX 2005 and TRADOS 7 for 5 years from now!
With our combined technology development teams and greater investment we will continue to develop SDLX and TRADOS to the next generation of software. As ever, our product development will be driven by customer requirements so that we provide you the innovations you need. Furthermore, we will also develop a new solution that will combine the best features of both SDLX and TRADOS while providing you with a seamless, comfortable and affordable upgrade path.
