Waltham Mass. -- April 24, 2006 -- Lionbridge Technologies, Inc., (Nasdaq:LIOX), today announced that Rory Cowan, President and CEO, was selected to keynote the 2006 CSN Expo in Miami. Mr. Cowan will address attendees from around the world on "Localization 2.0, the Ripple Effect of Software-as-a-Service and Web 2.0 on the Localization Industry." As SaaS technology deployments have exploded across the enterprise, the localization industry must also evolve in support of this trend. Mr. Cowan will share his view of how this shift in the software industry will create a ripple effect for the localization industry — impacting both the tools the industry uses and the business models it practices.
In addition to Mr. Cowan's keynote address, Lionbridge's Michael Rosenblatt, director of content solutions, will join with Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics to lead a session during the main program.
Mr. Rosenblatt and Jim Niziurski, project management lead from Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, will discuss how the speed of content localization and increased complexity led them to automate the hand off of content by connecting CMS with their translation team in a session titled: "Business Process Improvement: Improving Productivity Through CMS and Automated Workflow." They will describe the business case, expected gains, and success of the program to date.
CSN Expo will take place April 26-28 at the Alexander Hotel in South Beach, Miami. This year's show is focused on "The Business of Localization" and aims to provide attendees with practical insights into how the business process of outsourcing localization and translation services are changing in the coming years.
