We will have to wait until we see SDL's consolidated results in February before we can analyze profit and revenue results. At that time we should be able to see the impact of SDL's global information management strategy plus the rationalized staffing, operational, and product offering that came as part of its acquisition of Trados. In mid-2006, once we have 6 months of consolidated information to review, we will update our January 2005 business analysis of the company, SDL 2005: Opportunities and Challenges.

SDL announced a successful implementation of its Knowledge-Based Translation (KbT) System at Chrysler Group in Europe. The KbT solution integrates machine translation (MT), translation memory (TM), workflow, and human services in a closed loop (see "SDL Puts Machine Translation in Its Place"). The implementation came as part of SDL's work with Tweddle Litho. According to a DaimlerChrysler executive, "the Tweddle/SDL Solution has exceeded our expectations for translation quality control, delivery and cost reduction." These kinds of customer success stories will be essential to growing SDL's US$30 million technology business.
