Across Language Technology Chosen by Akorbi Language Consulting for its Security Advantages

Admin controls and ability to integrate with proprietary workflow systems cited

(LOS ANGELES – Dec. 9, 2010)

Across Systems, supplier of the leading independent linguistic supply chain technology, has been chosen by Akorbi Language Consulting as its preferred technology vendor for translation management. Akorbi is a language services bureau that handles translation and localization for customers in defense and other highly regulated industries; executives cited the security advantages of the Across Language Server software as the primary reason for the choice.

Akorbi chose Across Systems Language Server because it needed a versatile translation management system that would have good administrative control capabilities and also integrate well with its own existing proprietary workflow systems via a single interface. Management was looking for a centralized database repository where terminology and translation memories could be consolidated yet separated from one customer to another. The company evaluated the top three translation management systems before choosing Across.

Azam Mirza, president of Akorbi, said, “In the highly regulated and high security industries in which we operate – including defense, healthcare and insurance – we needed a translation management system that would allow us great flexibility to deal with multiple resources in different geographies in a single workflow, yet maintain the high standards of security that we uphold. Across provided the right system to meet our needs.”
