DST Innovis Relies on Alchemy's CATALYST™ for Simplified Translation

Efficiency and accuracy of localization for Intelecable improved with added software

DUBLIN and EL DORADO HILLS – May 1, 2002 – DST Innovis' international customers will have an easier and more accurate way to translate and localize Intelecable™, the company's convergent customer management and billing platform, due to integration with Alchemy Software's CATALYST™ 4.0, XML-based localization software.

Intelecable, which strictly adheres to National Language Support (NLS) standards, and supports customers in more than 18 countries, runs in a multi-tier environment, creating a complex translation process. Alchemy's CATALYST™ simplifies the translation process by providing a single program that generates, translates and updates files to be translated.

“Working with Alchemy allows us to provide a more accurate and less time consuming way to localize Intelecable,” said James L. Anderson, vice president of new business development for DST Innovis. “The process is simplified with CATALYST™ because all translations are made from a single program.”

“DST Innovis selected Alchemy CATALYST™ 4.0 as their solution to localize versions of their customer management and billing products and broaden their market presence worldwide,” said Tony O'Dowd, CEO and President of Alchemy Software Development. “In addition, by including a copy of Alchemy CATALYST™ with each installation of DST Innovis' Intelecable, they have given their customers the ability to rapidly develop localized versions of their customer management and billing systems. This is a significant competitive advantage over any other player in their industry.”

“Having evaluated many other localization applications, our team of engineers determined that Alchemy CATALYST™ is the best solution for our customers,” said Bob Guzik, advanced technologies research specialist for DST Innovis. “Whereas most other applications focus on providing tools for translators, Alchemy CATALYST™ spans the entire localization workflow, encompassing tools for development engineers, localization engineers and, of course translators.”

Driven by innovation and breakthroughs in translation technologies, Alchemy CATALYST™ 4.0 boosts speed, improves quality and reduces cost for all professionals involved in the localization workflow. It combines secure editing environments for XML/HTML based applications and web sites with advanced contextual translation memory technology and introduces the fastest and most productive mechanism for translating repetitive text segments, all integrated into a single finely tuned project management environment.

Intelecable is installed in 138 locations and supports nearly 11 million broadband subscribers worldwide. Debuting in 1993 as the first convergent customer management and billing platform, Intelecable quickly grew to worldwide adoption, supporting broadband, telecommunications, interactive video and other IP-services.
