One operating model for localisation, delivered
end-to-end

Enterprise translation breaks down when delivery is split across vendors, tools, and local processes. With Vistatec, XTM provides an end-to-end service that standardises how translation runs across the business — powered by XTM’s enterprise translation management software and operated day to day by Vistatec managed services. You get faster delivery, clearer accountability, and the governance and reporting leaders need.

XTM's ROLE

XTM software sets the operating model

XTM is the enterprise TMS that standardises translation across teams, markets, and content types:

  1. Workflow orchestration – intake to delivery with approvals and traceability
  2. Right-fit routing – apply AI or human review based on 
    content type and risk
  3. Governance – audit trails for regulated and brand-critical content
  4. Reporting – visibility into cost, quality, throughput, and turnaround

AI in your operation model

Confidence in AI comes from governance, not experimentation

Use AI where it fits, with the controls enterprises need:

  1. Policy-led use – define when AI is allowed and what quality thresholds apply
  2. Auditability – track decisions, edits, and approvals across the lifecycle
  3. Risk-based review – route to human expertise where the stakes are higher
  4. Consistent standards – terminology and style governance across languages and teams

Frequently asked questions about end-to-end translation services

What are end-to-end translation services?

 They cover the full lifecycle — intake, workflow, quality control, governance, and reporting. XTM and Vistatec combine enterprise software with managed services so delivery is consistent and measurable. 

What is included in this joint service?

Operating model design, XTM configuration, governance controls for AI and human review, terminology and style governance, managed delivery through Vistatec, and ongoing optimisation. 

How is this different from using an LSP alone?

LSP-only approaches often rely on fragmented tooling and limited visibility. This model standardises delivery through XTM software, with governance, audit trails, and reporting across the lifecycle. 

Is this a managed service or translation management software?

 It’s both. XTM provides the enterprise translation management software. Vistatec provides the managed services to implement and run the model end to end. 

Can we use AI translation safely for regulated or brand-critical content? 

Yes — when it’s governed. The service uses policy controls, audit trails, and quality thresholds, with risk-based routing to human expertise. 

Do we need to be an existing XTM customer?

No. This supports new customers adopting an enterprise TMS and organisations replacing fragmented tools and providers. 

How does this translation service work?

It runs as one operating model, delivered through XTM software and operated by Vistatec managed services:

  1. Assess and design – map content types, risk levels, stakeholders, SLAs, and governance requirements
  2. Configure XTM – set up workflows, routing, approvals, terminology, style, and reporting
  3. Launch and run – Vistatec manages day-to-day delivery, coordination, and quality oversight
  4. Measure and improve – track throughput, quality, cost, and turnaround, then optimise continuously
