Lionbridge Translation Workspace(TM) Emerges as the Industry's Fastest Growing SaaS-Based Language Productivity Platform
More Than 1600 Users in over 50 Countries Subscribe to Translation Workspace in the First 100 days
PR Newswire -- July 28, 2010
WALTHAM, Mass., July 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIOX) today announced that Translation Workspace, its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based translation productivity platform has surpassed its initial subscriber targets. In the first 100 days, more than 1600 translators and agencies in more than 50 countries have adopted Translation Workspace. Translation Workspace now manages nearly 100 million words each month in a secure, multi-tenant application, making it the world's most widely-used SaaS-based translation technology.
Introduced to the market in April of 2010 as a multi-tenant, cloud-based application, Translation Workspace is designed to support users in 100 countries with 99.8% uptime. Today, the platform supports subscribers from individual translators to large agencies, from China to Italy to Argentina, and is rapidly becoming the preferred translation productivity tool for translators and agencies worldwide.
Because Translation Workspace is a hosted, multi-tenant platform based on one instance of technology, all subscribers enjoy the same features and the same level of sophisticated technology. They also gain ongoing, automatic upgrades with no additional costs. In fact, Lionbridge is updating Translation Workspace every week with new features while maintaining a seamless, transparent experience for users worldwide
Translation Workspace allows users to upload and manage their translation memories and other language assets in their own secure, private workspace. Because Translation Workspace is cloud-based, users can access their workspace anywhere in the world using a simple internet connection. Delivered via a flexible, subscription-based SaaS model, Translation Workspace also eliminates the need for users to buy, install or maintain any software on their premises. Translators, agencies and enterprises can now dynamically align and scale their technology with their business needs while eliminating upgrade costs, version control issues and maintenance fees.
"The early response to Translation Workspace has far surpassed our initial expectations," said Yvonne Cekel, Vice President of SaaS and Communities, Lionbridge. "The user feedback has been very positive as subscribers experience the superior performance and flexibility of the Translation Workspace platform. And, with thousands of people visiting Geoworkz.com monthly, we expect the number of users to continue to grow during the coming months as subscribers expand their usage and share their experience with colleagues around the world."
Translation Workspace is also gaining momentum with enterprise organizations as the number of translator and agency subscribers grows. With Translation Workspace for the Enterprise, organizations gain all the benefits of on demand, hosted translation memory without the cost of on-premise, behind-the-firewall, client/server software. Organizations with a multi-vendor strategy for translation can now provide anywhere, anytime access and real-time updates to translation memories and glossaries for all internal and external production teams. This increases reuse, improves consistency and reduces maintenance and support costs by more than 50 percent compared to existing client server applications.
"Translation Workspace is a great product. Before Translation Workspace I had to create and manage multiple translation memories on my local computer which was disorderly and unsystematic. Because Translation Workspace is based on SaaS, I can use the platform to manage my translation assets much more easily," said a freelance translator in China.
Translation Workspace includes a number of rich features including live asset management and dynamic online review to accelerate speed of work, reduce language management costs, lower expenses and provide unparalleled productivity for internal and external teams. It also provides a repository of language assets that can be used to customize Lionbridge's forthcoming real-time translation engine to enable high quality instantaneous multilingual communication.
"The world's translators, agencies and enterprises are now enjoying the most innovative translation productivity platform at the fraction of the cost of legacy, on-premise tools," said Rory Cowan, CEO of Lionbridge. "And, as a common platform containing the world's largest database of language terms, Translation Workspace is becoming the backbone for enabling the world's highest quality, real-time multilingual communication."
