Message from our CEO

The Challenges and Opportunities of 2009 – What Matters Now... and Always

May 2009

When my parents - life-long translators and polyglots - founded Moravia back in 1990, then a small translation company, they could not have envisioned we would grow to become one of the largest language services companies in the world as we are today. But they did have a vision of Moravia being a highly professional service company, which genuinely strives for client satisfaction.


This spirit is present in Moravia still today. Every day, we work hard to meet the needs of our customers. And if we make a mistake, we own up to it, work hard to correct things and make sure we learn from the mistake.

I believe that perhaps the strongest contributor to making Moravia what it is today is our people and our culture. While much of what we do is related to technologies or processes, ultimately we are in the people business.

The Right Size

Personally, I take an immense pleasure in talking to our clients and understanding their needs. They often tell me that one thing they like very much about Moravia is our size, which is "just right" for them. We are big enough to meet their needs, however demanding or varied, yet we are also small enough to really care. Their success is also our success.

From my conversations with our clients, I also understand what challenges they see ahead for themselves in 2009, as the economic downturn takes its toll, and how best Moravia can help in this global recessionary environment.

Concerned with Today, Building for Tomorrow

Very often, I hear that our clients view the current downturn as both a challenge and an opportunity. They see now as a time to improve the way they manage their translation, localization and testing operations, and they look to enter new markets. They see their international revenues - with their products, content and messaging properly localized to individual markets - as even more important than before. They are positioning themselves for future long-term growth, and to emerge stronger when the global economic situation improves.

For the interim, we are working very closely with our customers to maximize any efficiency and help them get the most of their budgets. We do so by looking for fresh, innovative solutions to our clients' challenges or by helping them to optimize their processes as one way of reducing their overall costs quickly. Our production centers (located in smart locations), our ability to provide a flexible mix of off-shoring and near-shoring, and our ability to manage activities that may have been done previously internally, are other ways we are able to help.

Stability and Certainty

We have always stood by our clients in the good times as well as in the not-so-good times, and now is no exception. Most of the clients we worked with 10 years ago are still our customers, and we take pride in the stability our clients can benefit from and the certainty that working with Moravia gives them.

I invite you to explore our web site for ideas and insights into how Moravia may help your organization as you look for an efficient way of releasing your products for international markets.
