Translation Memory (TM) is one of the core components of a profitable and quality-driven translation business. Over time, however, inefficient management, review and updating of a TM can in fact generate a certain level of inconsistency.

SDL TM is an integral part of the CCM Methodology, the leading and most advanced approach to professional translation.

The CCM Methodology is the process of creating, controlling and maintaining quality translations through integrated terminology and quality checks.
