why work with us

 

Our Localization Maturity Assessment, a 360° review of the localization and translation function inside an organization, is based on the proprietary Localization Maturity Model developed by CSA Research, a proven method of determining the maturity of a company’s globalization efforts.

If you find yourself asking any of the following questions, an LMA can give you the answers.

  • What do we measure to show performance of our localization initiatives?
  • How efficient and effective are our globalization efforts?
  • Are our processes optimized?
  • Do we have the right organizational structure to support our efforts?
  • Do we have the right technology to support our efforts?
  • Is our localization strategy aligned with corporate goals?
  • Does our management team understand what we are doing and why?
  • Do we have the right level of management buy-in and support?
  • How well do we stack up against industry leaders? What are they doing differently?
  • When all is said and done, are we getting the best return on our localization investment?
