Written communication may not be every company's core expertise. Leading companies that require expert help turn to CLS Communication, the global full-spectrum provider of language services. The Swiss-based company has a worldwide pool of internal and freelance on-call translators, specialist copywriters and language experts, who have redefined effective communication by reducing time zones to one - and language barriers to none. "We take pride in being the partner of choice for end-to-end multilingual text management, from writing and editing to translation and desktop publishing," says CEO Doris Albisser. "Combining 15 years of industry expertise with state-of-the-art technologies, we ensure quality while ensuring absolute data security." CLS Communication provides round-the-clock service through 3,000 freelance language specialists and 600 in-house staff members in 20 offices spanning Europe, North America and Asia. It offers one-stop solutions, including business process outsourcing of clients' language service teams, which integrates them into CLS Communication. Its business model has been particularly successful in Asia, where it serves clients from its Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore offices. CLS Communication Asia-Pacific has pioneered some of the company's latest services, including specialised staffing services, end-to-end mutual fund fact sheet production and virtual data rooms in partnership with BMC Group. "We plan to grow our Asian presence and explore promising markets such as Japan and South Korea," Albisser says. CLS Communication has also enjoyed great success through its acquisitions, such as that of Canada-based Lexi-tech, which allowed CLS Communication to leverage a similar corporate culture, service range and position as market leader. This successful strategy is one that CLS Communication aims to replicate in Asia. "We seek partnerships that will provide clients a broader range of services, customer support and technologies," Albisser says. "These investments and our continuous development of value-added services and top talents will catapult CLS Communication to a place among Asia's top players within the next five years."
