Geneva, Switzerland. May 17, 2005 - The Localization Industry Standards Association (LISA, http://www.lisa.org) announces Taking Software to the World: Results of the LISA 2005 Global Software Survey, the first large-scale examination of the business impact of localized software.
Four hundred people in 51 countries substantiate the issues faced by business users of localized software and link them to their ability to conduct internal business operations and to support their customers. The results present a very clear roadmap for end users who purchase localized software and for software developers who want to know exactly where to spend their localization development budgets to sell more products.
According to William J. Sullivan, Program Director - Globalization at IBM, "Until today, there has been no concrete information available as to which specific applications are given highest priority among users of localized software. Taking Software to the World fills that gap for the first time ever with some very important data."
Michael Anobile, LISA's Managing Director, explains, "Strategic planners for international business have been left guessing what their priorities should be. Those days are over - Taking Software to the World shows how buyers of localized software prioritize their needs and where they see value."
The report features 64 pages of in-depth analysis, with 36 charts illustrating trends and 33 tables presenting data from the survey. Here are just a few of the significant findings from Taking Software to the World:
