Meet Lia: Acolad reveals AI Solution Suite
- Acolad’s new AI-powered solution suite is designed to streamline content workflows, from creation to release, ensuring measurable improvements in both efficiency and quality control.
- As part of an adaptable and ever-growing ecosystem, Lia is set for expansion, with new features already in pilot stages.
3 October 2024 – Following a series of key developments earlier this year, including the introduction of several new AI-driven solutions, Acolad lifts the veil on one of its most significant milestones to date: its next-generation AI solution suite, Lia. Inspired by the French acronym L’IA (L’Intelligence Artificielle), the name pays homage to Acolad’s roots while embodying human-like qualities, reflecting the group’s human-at-the-core approach to AI.
As GenAI transforms global content creation, management, and consumption, Lia is poised to redefine global communication by seamlessly integrating cutting-edge AI and human expertise at every stage of the content journey – from creation to optimization and release. The tagline for the launch campaign, AI Power, Human Impact reflects its focus on combining AI innovation with human expertise, delivering solutions that drive both technological advancement and meaningful results.
By harnessing state-of-the-art NLP and machine learning algorithms, Acolad has created a comprehensive ecosystem that addresses key industry challenges with unparalleled content quality and efficiency.
Solutions shaping the future
While real technological developments share the AI landscape with hyped-up news, Acolad sets itself apart with concrete practical applications. Built with a focus on tangible benefits, Lia helps businesses optimize costs, ensure quality control, and achieve faster time-to-market, all with complete transparency. Developed with flexibility in mind and the ability to grow from legacy tech stacks, the new ecosystem integrates seamlessly with existing systems, offering clients a strategic, AI-powered partnership rather than a one-size-fits-all tool.
“Lia is more than just AI—it’s about providing businesses with tailored, intelligent solutions that address real-world needs. With Lia, we’re not only improving workflows but also empowering our clients to scale effortlessly in a rapidly changing digital landscape.” said Stéphane Cinguino, Acolad’s Chief AI and Technology Officer. “This is a pivotal moment for both Acolad and the industry. We’re introducing a new approach to translation and content release that surpasses traditional AI platforms. Lia provides fully-integrated, adaptable, and scalable AI-powered solutions, guided by human experts and focused on user needs. It’s not just about technology; it’s about empowering the user.”
An ever-growing ecosystem to streamline content and translation needs
Lia’s versatility makes it ideal for industries with strict quality and compliance requirements, like Life Sciences and other regulated industries, as well as sectors where creativity and cultural context are key, such as Marketing. Whether it's ensuring the accuracy of medical translations or automating marketing content for global campaigns, Lia supports content creation and regulatory compliance, reducing manual work while enhancing overall quality.
Currently, Lia features six core components: Advanced Machine Translation, Automated Post-Editing (APE), Automated Quality Evaluation (AQE), AI Interpreting, Connectivity and Workflow Orchestration. Additional AI-enhanced solutions are under development, with some already in pilot phase or early implementation for selected customers.
“Our customer base is diverse and so are their needs – that's why we are taking this approach to Lia, with several stages planned to its release.” stated Gráinne Maycock, Chief Revenue Officer at Acolad. “We are looking at customers in Marketing, Life Sciences and other regulated industries, for example, as they have very specific requirements, to introduce new solutions especially adapted to their realities. We are conscious that our clients share common needs – prove AI helps optimize their globalization efforts and delivers value to their business results. The results are very promising, so Lia is sure to be expanded with new features very soon. Our pragmatic approach will help guide our clients from where they are to the next phase of AI success.”
Acolad emphasizes Lia’s adaptive nature, signaling that future developments in the AI suite will be driven by customer needs. Each solution within the suite is designed to address specific challenges and prepared to connect with existing tech stacks, ensuring a seamless end-to-end experience and benefiting from the synergy of the entire ecosystem.
