SDL Trados Business Manager

SDL Trados Business Manager is a Business Accounting Software that caters for the needs of users at varying levels.

SDL Trados Business Manager Lite: this is a plugin that is fully integrated into SDL Trados Studio 2019 SR2 and above.  It provides a complete invoicing/quoting system for Freelance translators and is available through the SDL AppStore and the SDL Trados website.

SDL Trados Business Manager Connector: this is a plugin that provides additional functionality integrating the SDL Trados Business Manager Team/Online versions with SDL Trados Studio 2019.  The plugin is only useful when used in conjunction with the aforementioned products.

SDL Trados Business Manager Team: this is a standalone product for small teams that supports the sharing of a single database if it's saved in a location on a server where multiple users can gain access to it.  It also uses a network licence which removes the need to have named users for all the available licences.

SDL Trados Business Manager Online: this is an on-premise product installed on a server so that users can work with it in a web environment through a browser, and/or by using a Team version of the desktop product.

You can ask any question you like in the Business Manager forums.  To make things simple it makes sense to create a new thread for different questions so they are easier to track and respond to.  We created the forums to try and group the questions appropriate to the version of Business Manager you're working with and hopefully make it easier to find a solution for what you're looking for.

We also have a wiki where we publish full documentation for the product as well as dealing with the more common things we find people asking about.
