Global Project Management Covering 3 Regional
Offices (USA – Germany – Japan)
The 3D Systems European Headquarters(Darmstadt, Germany) initially contacted SAECULII(Tokyo, Japan) to produce the 3D Systems
marketing materials in Japanese for the DMS Expoin Tokyo.
However, since the 3D
Systems Japanese
Headquarters (Tokyo, Japan)
was to take final delivery of themarketing materials, executing
the project involved close
cooperation with the Japanese
office to ensure that all project
specifications were met in atimely manner.
In addition, coordination withthe 3D Systems Global
Headquarters (Rock Hill, SC,USA) was also necessary
since there was a significant
amount of overlap inmarketing materials required
for the 3D Systems World
Conference to be held later inthe year in the USA. Thecompany expected Japaneseclients at the conference.
We believe that the cornerstone of successfulproject management is the ability to communicate
effectively in the cooperation and coordination ofprojects with clients and their vendors.
Project management is one of the SAECULII’s corecompetencies.

Integrated Japanese Translation Solutions
The 3D Systems solution implemented by SAECULII Japanese Translation Agency (Japan Tokyo) required
global project management involving a number of our service departments and the client’s regional offices andvendors.

“We are very happy to have found an agency that we can rely on with
our trade show marketing deliverables for the Japanese market.”
Professional Japanese Translation
The team of native Japanese translation
professionals SAECULII customized for 3D Systems
required a diverse set of translation skills reflecting
the nature of the project marketing materials(brochures, flyers, flash presentations, web content& video scripts). For example, we assigned thevideo script translation to a translator thatspecialized only in Japanese film script translation.
Plain vanilla translation, especially for marketing
materials, is simply not enough – the skill set of thetranslator must match the job description.
Professional Japanese Translation.
Japanese Localization
Localization engineering is re-engineering thedevelopment environment after all the content has
been translated – the “technical stuff” that bridges
localization and translation.
SAECULII’s vast expertise and experience inproviding localization engineering ensured quality
solutions for all technical aspects of the 3D Systems
project from web & graphic design to web
development and professional printing for the local
Japanese market.

diverse range of skills to bear.
With a carefully selected team of native Japanese
web & graphic designers headed by our multi-lingual
art director who has international marketing
experience, we were able to assign designers toaspects of the project that matched their skill set.
That is, web designers were given responsibility for
online marketing materials, and graphic designers
for print marketing materials.
Japanese Printing
Most projects have an 11th hour component! TheSAECULII design department arranged printing for
an order of flyers, and direct delivery of printmaterials to the trade show floor in time for theopening. Indeed, the 3D Systems representative
called to confirm print material delivery as the first
customers of the day entered the 3D Systems
booth!
Conclusion
Project management is a core competency at
SAECULII. This gives us the unique ability tocustomize solutions, manage projects of scale, andproduce quality marketing deliverables.
