And so we reach the end of another year on earth. What a year it has been!
We launched XTM Cloud and are working with some of the best companies on earth and making our technology more awesome as each day passes.All of this is possible only because of the hard work, persistence and determination of the XTM team. I am always impressed by the professionalism, ability and speed that the XTM development team display and I must thank all of them for their efforts this past year…and the many years before! Thank you; you know who you are.
Really this has been a year of change, both in my own life and in the companies. When I look back this time last year it was a very different landscape. Many people were worried about Cloud technology and new translation tools. People were confused about the benefits of Cloud translation tools and whether they will actually take off in a big way. Well I can say that it looks like they will, at least we can see from our own business that many more people are interested and ready to see what is possible with new web based translation tools.
With XTM Cloud we launched a very powerful translation tool that anyone can use, from the freelancer to large global organizations.
It gives me and the whole XTM team such great satisfaction to see and know that XTM is making our customers lives easier, to see it in action in huge multi-million word projects with many translators working together on many, many files.
I am delighted to hear when a project manager says “Wow, I can manage my large projects this easily!” when they see XTM Workflow and realize that the old way of working was so tiresome.
I am proud when a translator tells me they have won more business because of the InDesign file support of .IDML and that they can manage more translators.
I am proud when an LSP customer of mine tells me that they have completed a million word project in the fastest time ever working with 30 concurrent translators, all sharing TM, Terminology. Eureka!
When I hear that real life progress, real life improvement is happening it makes all of us in the XTM family extremely glad to be working to build this company, in this industry at this time.
2011 is an exciting year for XTM International and I look forward to what the future brings for our customers, us and the whole industry.
We see the game changers and we are looking forward to walking into the future with our minds and hearts open to positive change through powerful and cutting edge technology.
Wishing everyone the very best for 2011. With a wish that many solve their problems, find hope and most importantly enjoy the company of those close to them; grow new friendships and develop knowledge for the enrichment of all.
Let’s make 2011 a year to remember!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
