In effect, we maintain multilingual databases for the Internet industry, and we offer these services around four distinct section score business processes. Cisco is a great example.

First, this is not a business about just tools. There is no silver bullet technology. So to maintain these databases in multiple languages, you need a combination of language management technologies, a global infrastructure, as well as a reusable knowledge base.

We also have about 1,000 people in 16 locations in 10 or 11 countries.
