across Language Technology Now Available in France

Paris, February 14, 2007 - across Systems, a spin-off of Nero AG and one of the leading providers of corporate translation management (CTM) software, has launched its activities in France.

French is a EU and UNO working language and one of the most widely-used languages in Europe and around the globe. Therefore, France is an important market for across software solutions, which serve the efficient creation of high-quality translations.

Emeline Massart has been appointed Regional Manager for the French market. She holds a degree from the ICN Business School in Nancy. Apart from French, she speaks English, Italian, and German. Having worked in the product management of various European companies, she is familiar with their requirements for developing international markets.

The basic idea of across is the seamless integration of all involved, from the customer in the industry to the external language service provider. Thus, foreign-language versions of manuals, product catalogs, web pages, or other texts can be produced faster and at lower cost.

Christian Weih, International Sales Director at across, explains: "In the course of the international roll-out of across, additional locations will follow in the US, Europe, and Asia. Within a few months, we will be present in all relevant markets."
