Program overview
How do you procure your globalization services? Companies developing products for international markets face a dizzying array of critical business issues that go far beyond translation. Standards that address the technology side of the equation are in place to help automate processes, achieve quality goals, and maximize reuse of linguistic assets. Today’s challenge is how to work together standardize the procurement process for globalization as well so that buyers of these services can make accurate international development plans.
Speakers
Speakers at the LISA Forum USA will come from a variety of industries to discuss the critical business issues they encounter in procuring globalization services and implementing key technologies. Invited speakers come from leading organizations on the client side, like Microsoft, Adobe, HP, Kiva, and IBM, and will cover topics ranging from crowdsourcing, machine translation, and globalization testing to determining the ROI of globalization services and promoting globalization at the board level.
