WHO ARE WE?

NetVenture is a young, modern language service company operating in the sector of international communication:

• Business,
• Law,
• Technology,
• Advertising,
• New media,
• Software localization,
• Documentation.

NetVenture was founded in Munich in 1996. Through LinguaNet, its own worldwide network, it looks back on more than twenty years of experience in the field.

Many global companies have realised that the volume of translation work they require has soared. That's why an innovative approach is crucial to prevent cost increases from following the same trend.

We co-operate with our customers in optimising our workflows. How?

By increasing our efficiency using cutting-edge technology and customised solutions to slash net costs.

Our greatest assets are the team players within our network. In more than 25 countries around the world, expert specialists work to the principles described above - they are highly qualified, both technically and professionally, receptive to new trends and ideas, and preparing for the solutions of tomorrow.

So despite geographic distance, a "virtual" network has developed with a consistent understanding of what working in the translation market of the future will be like.

It means NetVenture will be fully prepared if and when conventional translation processes are no longer competitive and are replaced by machine-aided translation (MAT). Indeed, over the years, the company has continuously incorporated new technical solutions to benefit its customers and to tackle the new challenges that lie ahead.

 

Customers committed to the work provided by our network include:

Sybase, AT&T, Oracle, IBM, Damgaard, Johnson&Johnson, Viag Interkom,

Publicis Munich, Preferred Vendor for Austria's EU Presidency

and many more.

This is how we proceed:

• The translations and quality checks are carried out by teams of translators.

• To make sure we're perfectly in tune with the way languages evolve, we commission our translations in the country in which you intend to market your products.

• Whenever possible we like to provide our customers with a product that's ready for printing - that's why we process your original files directly to obtain our translations. This considerably reduces - and may eliminate altogether - the costs involved in reworking the copy, sending files back and forth, etc..

• Convenience and time savings through the consistent use of electronic data transfer, servers and databases.

• We make use of the full range of developments in technology (online glossaries, terminology banks, computer-aided translation tools, conversion programs) to enable translators to concentrate fully on the quality of their translations.

• Software localisation covers far more than mere translation; it includes complete test installations, software engineering and development of the relevant utilities.

• Cost savings are also achieved by customising our workflows specifically for individual customers.

• By consistently deploying our computer-aided translation systems we can also achieve volume savings of up to 40%.

This means we can offer our customers the standards of quality and technology they would expect from a large corporation, combined with the bottom-line benefits of a lean service provider - teamed with all the advantages of a personal approach.
