E-Business Solutions

E-Business Solutions make available Websites, Intranets, Extranets and Web Applications in another language. Today most E-Business Solutions are found in English, thereby excluding a vast number of potential customers for the business.

As Corporations and Government Agencies discover the advantages of doing business on the web, they have felt constrained by the barriers imposed by the use of English in websites and other applications. A majority of the target audience prefers their native language to English, as it enables them interact better with the service seekers or providers.

The Sarayu Language Framework has been successfully used by many organizations to improve their reach and exposure, across geographies, as part of their Globalization Strategy. The Framework supports Dynamic Websites, which are data base driven, making it scalable for different languages and easy to maintain. It plays special attention to the following issues, taking into account relevant practices:

     Domain
     Context
     Culture
     Personal

1.      Improve Sales

2.      Reduce Cost of Operations

5.      Enhance Market Credibility

Product Migration

Product Migration is the process of making available a software product, originally developed keeping in mind the requirements of a particular region, for use in an entirely different region. It is also known as Localization

Product Migration involves the following:

• Translation of the User Interface, Online Help, Documentation and Packaging
• Incorporating Cultural, Personalization Issues
• Adding Data and Language-dependent Components like Spell-checkers

Regional Standards, which would be supported by the migrated software and Web application include:

• Measurement formats (e.g., centimeters vs. inches)
• Number formats (e.g., different thousand separators)
• Time formats (use of the 24-hour or 12-hour clock)
• Date/Calendar formats (e.g., the mm/dd/yy format vs. the dd/mm/yy; the Chinese calendar)
• Currency formats (national currencies, and related issue)
• Phone Number formats (e.g., number separators)
• Sorting rules (different alphabetical orders)
