Have your terminology databases become confusing over time?  
Is the work becoming more and more complicated and is it becoming more and more difficult to make the language used consistent because languages and topics keep getting added?

This is precisely the problem that the industrial group [ZF Friedrichshafen](https://www.zf.com/mobile/en/homepage/homepage.html) faced in 2018:

internal and external employees could no longer work efficiently with the large terminology database. There was a steady increase not only in the terms included but also in the languages used. Find out in our case study how [oneword](https://www.oneword.de/en/)managed to process, cleanse and restructure the large volumes of data in the twelve languages used. And how, today, ZF Friedrichshafen benefits from [modern terminology management](https://www.oneword.de/en/terminology-management/).
