What is Protemos?

Protemos is a business management system for translation companies designed to boost productivity. It is user-friendly, quick to set up and doesn’t require any special training.  

Little wonder, then, that in less than a decade, Protemos has gone from a scrappy start-up to a trusted partner of thousands of companies and freelance translators. 

Protemos unifies features such as client and vendor databases; financial details, including invoicing; storage and transfer of files; online CAT tools; job assignment; deadline and delivery management, and much more. 

How Does it Work with memoQ?

News of the Protemos/memoQ integration will be met with enthusiasm by users of both tools. It’s something many users have been requesting. And now it’s here. 

Now, you can transfer projects between the two systems smoothly and simply, saving time that would otherwise have been spent on manual copy-and-pasting. With one click, you can reproduce your Protemos project in memoQ with no losses: all the info about language pairs and deadlines, client info and files is transferred across. It works the other way around, too – your memoQ project can be pulled into Protemos with all the related information intact. 

But that’s not all.  

Let’s say you create a project in Protemos and another in memoQ, independently. With one click, you can link these projects together; with another click, you can unlink them. It really is that simple.

Integration with XTRF

XTRF is a web-based platform for managing translation work. Its integration with the memoQ server is extensive and powerful, providing fully automated project creation, along with automatic file analysis, and project management. Established in 2004, XTRF has become one of the most popular management systems on the translation market. With its innovative cloud-based system, XTRF offers a user-friendly approach to management systems which improves turnaround time, reduces the need for repetitive manual tasks, and cuts costs for its users.

Benefits:

The integration ensures memoQ and XTRF to deliver a seamless workflow:



Vendor selection and assignment

Vendors can be assigned through XTRF which will result in a memoQ document assigned to that vendor. If the vendor changes something in XTRF, the change will instantly be visible in memoQ.



Quote creation

The start of a memoQ – XTRF project is the creation of a quote in XTRF. The memoQ server analyses the project files, sends the analysis to XTRF, then provides the quote. You can choose in XTRF whether you wish to create a memoQ project at the same time as the quote.



 

Project start

 

You can select XTRF to start a memoQ project based on the quote. Files and resources must be added to the XTRF project before triggering memoQ project creation.



 

Delivery

Prior to delivery, the memoQ TM is updated and the translated files are exported from memoQ to XTRF. You are good to go!
