Motivation

"Global business is transforming rapidly. New internet technologies, global virtual teams, and multi-lingual content require new approaches to meet our clients' communication requirements. (Dr. Elisabeth Maier, CTO of CLS Communication)

As our customers need to increase their efficiency and performance, we offer automated, lean processes. This involves sharing assets, i.e. data and technologies with industry partners, and developing intelligent partnerships to deliver cost-effective, tailored solutions to match our customers' specific needs.

Many of our clients from the financial, insurance and life science and industry area are expanding their language spread, as well as their technology mix. We offer hybrid technology solutions, which seamlessly integrate into their production processes."

Global corporations are confronted with faster publishing cycles, and require almost instant translations. We believe the need for effective language tools will continue to grow. We joined TAUS to exchange ideas with other industry leaders, to share assets and to benchmark our ideas against users' requirements. Although the sharing of business know-how and data is a sensitive topic, TAUS provides a platform to openly engage in fruitful discussions at the executive level, to exchange knowledge and ideas about translation automation and keep moving forward.

TAUS is a great community for language technology experts and providers to discuss current industry developments.
