LinguaNet has attended the Localization World conference in Bonn, Germany.

As a major gathering of professionals of the industry, the Localization World conference has been held in Bonn, Germany, from June 29th to July 1rst, 2004.
This year's subject matter addressed one of our main concerns as localization professionals, in terms of evolution of business models and positioning strategies.

Knowledge management and sharing can be used as a basis for sustainable competitive advantage.

Beyond globalization. From product localization to knowledge sharing.

Until recently the localization business was dominated by the old paradigm of global projection: developed and built in the home market and sold around the world. Moving beyond this form of globalization the business world finds itself more and more in a situation where knowledge must be shared with customers, suppliers and colleagues around the world. Crossing language and cultural barriers is no longer one-directional. The feedback from end-users is crucial to the success of our products. (To read more www.localizationworld.com)

Knowledge management is to be planned as a strategy to meet objectives and thus ultimately reach the organizational vision.

Those of us who created LinguaNet - and who continue to build it day by day - view ourselves as a global, knowledge sharing community rather than a company in the traditional sense.
By identifying and bringing together fragmented, scattered knowledge, and facilitating active sharing of language and technology expertise, we build trustworthy, sustainable relationships with our customers, partners and translators.
Building a knowledge-driven environment, by enabling people networks, systems integration and knowledge transfer, is our strategy for the future.
