The next CLICK! (Community for Linking Internet Companies in Kansai!) will
be held on February 28th, 2001 at MCI Worldcom Osaka.
This month's guest speakers:
Ever wonder how products that take 6 months to develop in English come out
in Japanese (and French, German, Spanish, Italian, Chinese) only a month
after the original release? And how does IBM keep its gigantic PC tech
support web site current in 5 languages without a file management
nightmare? The localization industry is a multi-billion dollar business
that watches after these and other challenges for IT companies, who
typically earn close to half their sales from markets outside English.
Localization industry veteran Carl Kay will tell us a little about this
field, which may be of particular interest to those with both IT and
language skills and interests. Carl's career includes founding a company in
the USA and Japan; buying a company in Japan; selling all his companies to
a larger company, and a NASDAQ IPO, so entrepreneurs in the audience may
also find the presentation of interest.
Tariq Segal of MCI WorldCom Tokyo will also present information on
WorldComs Datacenters. WorldCom is a global leader in communications
services with operations in more than 65 countries and also owns Internet
backbone networks through its UUNET subsidiary. MCI operates one of the
Internet's largest backbones: 22 U.S. nodes, 15,000 POPs and numerous
peering agreements serving more than 1,300 global ISPs.
