Common Sense Advisory, Inc., an independent research and consulting firm, has released the second in a series of reports on publicly traded language service companies. The report, SDL 2005: Challenges and Opportunities, provides a business assessment of UK-based SDL International, a provider of translation services and technology solutions, in the financial and business terms that reflect the company's importance to the globalization plans of large enterprises. The report analyzes SDL's business fundamentals; assesses its value and performance; and provides analysis of its strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats.
In the process of the report development, Common Sense Advisory created a specialty index for evaluating firms in the translation and localization market segment. Since people and process are the core of these businesses, the Human-Delivered Services index tracks the performance of translation and localization companies. This index of 106 firms crosses 10 different industries in the same revenue range. Common Sense Advisory will begin publishing this index regularly at its website to help other companies in the translation space gauge their own performance. |
