Lionbridge Named to Distinguished List of “Top 20 Companies in the Training Outsourcing Industry” for Third Consecutive Year
Secures Prestigious Recognition for Authentic and Cost-effective eLearning Programs
WALTHAM, Mass. – September 30, 2008 – Lionbridge Technologies, Inc., (Nasdaq: LIOX), today announced it has been selected by TrainingOutsourcing.com to be included in its “Top 20 Companies in the Training Outsourcing Industry” for 2008. This is the third consecutive year that Lionbridge has been named to this list, reflecting the Company’s high-quality eLearning development services for enterprises and title publishers worldwide.
The top 20 outsourcers were chosen from a group of 400 companies and were selected based on multiple criteria, including geographic reach, ability to manage multi-year training business process outsourcing (BPO) engagements and level of analytics and evaluation methods. Each company selected showed proven expertise, experience, and capabilities across the 25 business process categories that they were evaluated against. Lionbridge was chosen based on the Company’s global scale, proven content development expertise and deep domain knowledge, all of which bring value to companies who seek high quality, cost-effective eLearning development services.
“Our content development needs are highly domain specific as we train our employees to understand the uniqueness of our patient population and to apply evidenced-based clinical techniques and approaches that assist the elderly and disabled to become more free and independent,” said Mark Besch, vice president of clinical services at Aegis Therapies (a division of Golden Living). “Lionbridge is an excellent partner. In fact, Lionbridge was able to ramp up its knowledge quickly, taking our inputs and developing content on the first go around.”
Lionbridge designs and develops custom training courseware that helps organizations improve sales effectiveness, enhance productivity, reduce support costs, and manage compliance. Lionbridge also leverages its localization expertise to ensure that cultural appropriateness of visuals and text are considered throughout the development stage both for eLearning and instructor-led training curriculum.
“The nature and intensity of global competition demands that companies deliver targeted, relevant training content to an increasingly dynamic group of employees, partners and customers,” said Robin Lloyd, vice president and general manager of Lionbridge’s Global Content Development service. “Lionbridge helps organizations achieve these goals by applying an optimal blend of emerging models – such as just-in-time learning, mobile learning, and rapid eLearning – and traditional online courseware to maximize the impact of training investments.”
