the full story - 3di

Case Study
3di team translates
courseware into
Russian for
ESI International
ESI International is
the industry leader in
comprehensive project
management training and
professional services.
Thanks to 3di’s localization
expertise, we ensured that
every detail, including complex
graphical material, of their
training material was as clear
and usable in Russian as the
original English courseware.
With over 20 years’ experience in the field, ESI delivers
consistently high-quality training in over 50 countries worldwide.
ESI’s training courses in both public and on-site environments
are the cornerstone of its business, complemented by a range
of consulting and product development skills. This enables ESI
to develop customised project management solutions that are
comprehensive and flexible and to focus on customers’ unique
and individual business needs.
Based in the US and with offices and partners throughout the
world, ESI has honed the science of project management and
has established relationships across every industry and business
service, to become the world leader in integrated project
management solutions.
“3di has consistently
met these expectations,
providing the quality
we need, often to tight
deadlines.”
Alan Garvey,
Managing Director of ESI, EMEA

The Challenge
ESI has begun to supply a range of specialist Project Management courses to an
new corporate client with extensive operations in Russia. Already a satisfied user
of ESI’s courses in English, this client needed to ensure that its personnel based
in Russia received the same, effective, high-value training. 3di was asked by ESI
to provide courseware translation services into Russian that would meet their
strict quality standards.
Quality and Meaning
The courseware that 3di translated contained a lot of highly specialised and
customer-specific terminology, along with complex graphics, diagrams and
flowcharts. It was essential that 3di translators fully understood the subject
matter of the material to ensure that, when delivered, the appropriate context
would be effectively communicated.
“It is vitally important
for ESI that our chosen
translation partner can
consistently provide
high quality, ready to
publish translations,
including coping with
complex graphics
and diagrams.”
Timescales and Flexibility
ESI were often under pressure to rollout the tested, ready to-use Russian
courseware within specific timescales that dovetailed with their client’s
overall training strategy. 3di had to be flexible in its response to these
demands, and the team had to be scalable and able to react quickly.
Results and Benefits
3di worked with ESI on a range of different courses; feedback from ESI’s Russian
client was excellent - they were pleased that ESI had managed to communicate
some specific and often complex issues to their Russian staff. By working closely
with ESI, 3di was able to fully understand the project priorities, advise ESI on
certain approaches to streamlining translation, and to deliver high-quality,
Russian output to tight timescales and within budget.
Understand
and execute.
Effectively.
3di created high quality
Russian courseware, delivered
on time and to tight timescales,
which delighted ESI’s
customer.
