We have been using SDL Trados Business Manager for almost a year now and it made our work in the translation agency much easier. SDL Trados Business Manager is practical, easy to use and you can enter there all the data that you need. We especially love that we can have our projects, customers, translators, invoices, quotes, tax reports and analyses all in one place! Our working process would be far more time-consuming and complicated without this program. SDL Trados Business Manager is a perfect solution for any translator or translation agency out there.
