Lionbridge Launches Program to Accelerate Localization of Microsoft Dynamics AX and Microsoft Dynamics NAV Solutions to Global Markets

Lionbridge is delivering these services using Logoport(TM), its web- architected translation memory platform to access Microsoft's comprehensive library of language assets anytime, anywhere in the world in a secure, web- hosted environment.

"Through this agreement, we will be able to quickly and cost-effectively deliver more translated versions of Microsoft Dynamics AX and NAV to customers around the world," said Neal Singh, General Manager Global Development, Microsoft Business Solutions (MBS). "We are also extending these benefits to our partners who can take advantage of Lionbridge's expertise and economies of scale to increase their global footprint and sell their innovative solutions to new local markets."

    Benefits of Lionbridge's services include:

    -- Time and cost savings:  Lionbridge's Logoport technology delivers
       faster, more consistent translation at a lower cost.

    -- Partner resource:  Microsoft Dynamics partners can choose to use
       Lionbridge to expand their global presence. Using its experience from
       previously translated Microsoft Dynamics content, Lionbridge can reduce
       the time, cost and complexity of delivering quality products that meet
       the needs of local markets.

"Lionbridge has a long history of helping companies of all sizes rapidly globalize by efficiently entering new markets and quickly growing revenue. In addition to our relationship with Microsoft Business Solutions, we are now extending our offerings to their partners worldwide," said Rory Cowan, CEO, Lionbridge. "By combining Microsoft Dynamics' content with Lionbridge's deep ERP domain expertise, geographic presence and technology platform we are making it easier for Microsoft and its partners to enter new markets, satisfy customers and broaden their global opportunity."
