Guarantee your successful transition from a US-centric Web presence to a globally focused Web presence. Montage specializes in working with US manufacturing enterprises to deliver an economical and effective global Web presence.

What may be unfamiliar and hazardous territory for you is home to us. We take the risk out of building a truly global Web presence, and bring certainty to budgets.

Most US manufacturing companies see a global Web presence as a necessity. Many organizations already have one or two country sites, but it’s a big step from there to a comprehensive and effective global presence. Montage has market-leading expertise in each of the five areas essential to successful Web globalization:

Audit your global Web presence

Montage benchmarks your sites against your competitors and others in the manufacturing segment, and evaluates your sites against a list of globalization standards. This enables a comprehensive report highlighting what you’re doing right, any issues, and easy wins.

Develop strategy

Montage produces a go-forward action plan that optimizes complex strategic decisions. Correct strategy will see you prioritize the ROI of globalization, starting where the biggest and earliest gains are, then proceeding to smaller markets or more complex customized features. Your plan will expertly resolve the tensions between content centralization and localization - deciding what gets standardized and what doesn’t. It will also design and align global to local workflow processes with existing business and marketing/sales processes; and ensure alignment of country-level customization with business and audience needs – both local and enterprise wide.

Globalization project management

Montage can manage the project in terms of language translation, time zones and local resources. We are expert at mediating between the often-competing requirements of corporate and local stakeholders.

Multi-country Web site architecture and technical implementation

We work with you to develop global Web templates that are able to handle localization requirements, in order to deliver on the agreed strategy. We define and implement global content structures and systems, and apply them to local content needs where necessary. Montage can extend existing content management systems to handle globalization requirements. We can also integrate and extend new or existing applications globally, for example lead generation and product selectors.

Implement global Web presence workflow practices

This puts structures in place to keep your sites current and relevant on a global and local level. It includes setting up effective procedures to roll out new products and updates to your global Web sites.
