THE FUTURE

•   2013 – 2030: Companies will begin to truly utilize technology that delivers ROI
    “now”, not in 5 years – love the Cloud philosophy! The world will continue to
    evolve and companies will continue to bring innovative strategy and technology
    to market.

Here is a glimpse into the not so distant future:

•   There will be zero communication barriers, regardless of language.
     – My 3 year-old will be connecting with China, speaking English, while they
        are speaking Chinese.

•   Global citizens anywhere in the world will be able to have access to the same
    literature, books and texts – in any language, from any device, anytime.
MASSIVE OPPORTUNITIES

•   Global Collaboration and Communication will solve the world’s biggest
    challenges:

     –   Cancer will be solved by a cross collaboration between countries
     –   Dimension/Alzheimer’s will be solved by global research
     –   AIDs/HIV will be solved by improved education and communication
     –   Stem cell research will be improved dramatically by cross regional teams
     –   Hunger and the right to fresh water will be solved by better education
     –   Dare I say, World Peace will be solved by improved
         communication/collaboration
(Translation+Technology)*Innovation = Human ROI

   The real question is…




              Will you be an impediment to innovation?
                                 OR
      Will you to help promote innovation and invest your effort
                         to change the world?
Thank you.

Editor's Notes

  1. Amanda, where did you get this graphic? Need the original in its entirety.
  2. WhyMarketo has over 2,00 customers, 35 courntries, lots of multilingual communication. There was an unmet need in offering localized software for marketing marekto was the first, better serve multinational markets, and mono lingual companies. FR GR the benginging. HowStarted off as silivconvally, morphed into global prences, *dublinsydney) sales and support worldwide. Support is already multilingual (4 languages) have multilingual presence in website as well. Global Strategy Idea that cusomters can be anywhere and its more efective to communiate in prefered language. Can reach people in those langage, now halping the userestehem selves operte. Language should not be a barrier to our customers in communicationg with their customers. Internally lead initiative. Didn’t make the decions to build the software internationalixed I the first palce. Now the entire code base is this way. All developlment is internationalized from here. Have been in EMEA for a while, fr and gr are maturing faster, more ready to embrace the software and by offering this in language it factiliatesthir process. With each new language it becomes more of a localization effort not the internationalization piece which was a big project last year.Makethe big investmen,t now its will be faster to get alnugage 3 an 4 out the doorInternationalizationand Localization approach. Took a wholistic view. Wide representation at the event last year!! Keep everyone in the loop in the process. Lead by product but as other teams come on they can use the Tm. CW was the right partner because we wanted to grow into that solution over time. Latched onto cloudwords really early .. Because of the UIThey have extended the feature set… a true technology company with the right solution for what need to happen. As a newbie, cloudwords was an easy interface to stay o top of translation jobs, drive transparency of pricing (translation memory piece!) fuzzy matches etc. One central location to track messaging. Prospecting, sales and marketing. Customer exerpeine, training onboarding, community. Doing targeted translation and able to measure against languages. Inportant to identify owners and roles. Help educate how this will change your job morvingforwad. Engineering and marketing (ways of writing that make it easyier to transltion) needs to become a embedded in the way people do their work. Always cme back to the customer experience, if we are serious about goinginto a global market, how do we think about all the different touch points.
