OpenText Identity and Access Management - TransPerfect Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between OpenText Identity and Access Management and TransPerfect

1. Secure access to translation and localization workspaces

Data flow: OpenText Identity and Access Management ? TransPerfect

Use OpenText Identity and Access Management to provide single sign-on and role-based access for internal teams, vendors, and reviewers accessing TransPerfect portals or connected localization tools. This reduces password fatigue, centralizes authentication, and ensures only approved users can submit, review, or approve localized content.

Business value: Faster onboarding for global teams, stronger security controls, and less administrative overhead for user provisioning and deprovisioning.

2. Automated user provisioning for localization projects

Data flow: OpenText Identity and Access Management ? TransPerfect

When a new project manager, translator, or approver is added in the identity system, their account and permissions can be automatically created in TransPerfect with the correct project or language-specific role. When access is removed in OpenText Identity and Access Management, TransPerfect access is revoked at the same time.

Business value: Eliminates manual account setup, reduces security risk from stale accounts, and supports rapid scaling of multilingual operations.

3. Controlled access for external linguists and localization vendors

Data flow: OpenText Identity and Access Management ? TransPerfect

Enterprises often work with external translators, editors, and reviewers. OpenText Identity and Access Management can enforce authentication policies, group membership, and time-bound access for these users before they enter TransPerfect workflows. This is especially useful for regulated content or confidential product launches.

Business value: Improves governance over third-party access while enabling secure collaboration with external language service providers.

4. Role-based approval workflows for localized content

Data flow: Bi-directional

OpenText Identity and Access Management can supply user roles and approval authority to TransPerfect, while TransPerfect can route content to the correct approvers based on those roles. For example, legal, regulatory, and regional marketing approvers can be assigned different approval paths depending on content type and target market.

Business value: Ensures the right stakeholders review the right content, reducing rework and lowering the risk of publishing inaccurate or noncompliant translations.

5. Secure localization of sensitive enterprise content

Data flow: OpenText Identity and Access Management ? TransPerfect

For sensitive assets such as product documentation, HR communications, or regulated disclosures, OpenText Identity and Access Management can enforce stronger authentication requirements before users access TransPerfect translation jobs or source files. Access can be limited by department, geography, or project classification.

Business value: Protects confidential content during translation and localization while supporting enterprise security policies.

6. Streamlined access for global marketing and content teams

Data flow: OpenText Identity and Access Management ? TransPerfect

Marketing teams managing multilingual campaigns can use enterprise identity credentials to access TransPerfect without separate logins. Regional marketers can be assigned permissions to submit content, review translations, or approve market-specific adaptations based on their OpenText Identity and Access Management role.

Business value: Speeds up campaign localization, improves user experience, and reduces dependency on IT for access requests.

7. Audit-ready access governance for localization operations

Data flow: Bi-directional

OpenText Identity and Access Management can provide authentication and role assignment logs, while TransPerfect can provide project activity records showing who accessed, reviewed, or approved localized content. Together, these records support audits for compliance, content governance, and vendor oversight.

Business value: Strengthens traceability across the localization lifecycle and simplifies compliance reporting for regulated industries.

8. Lifecycle-based access removal after project completion

Data flow: OpenText Identity and Access Management ? TransPerfect

When a project ends, a contractor leaves, or a regional team changes, OpenText Identity and Access Management can automatically disable or downgrade TransPerfect access. This prevents unnecessary exposure to content repositories and translation workflows after the user no longer needs access.

Business value: Reduces security exposure, supports least-privilege access, and improves operational control across distributed teams.
