When SDL first announced its OpenExchange platform in March 2010, it was touted as an innovation that would "revolutionize the translation industry". Three years later, in March 2013, SDL states in a press release that "over 500 developers have signed up" and that "app downloads double year on year".
This video shows that the OpenExchange platform has had a rather limited impact so far and mostly provides a way for SDL to add missing features that are built-in in competing tools.
