And throughout the year, they look for resources — the people, products and services they need to connect with in the language industry. Every year in the language industry is a busy and fast-changing one. The year Up Front M2006 saw many moves, mergers and acquisitions as well as the introduction of new technolo- gies and new uses for “traditional” tools. Using this resource directory and index, you can easily locate language-industry companies as well as information published in the pages of MultiLingual during 2006. For this fi fth annual Resource Directory and Index, we worked with Common Sense Advisory consultancy CEO Donald A. DePalma to survey buyers and providers of language services about what they want and what they think the “other side” wants in transacting language business. In his article (see the pages with red tabs) you may fi nd some surprising results. As in the past, the Resource Directory (blue tabs) lists companies that develop and use language-related technology along with others that provide services in translation, localization, international- ization, website globalization and many other specialties. Index pages (gold tabs) include authors, titles and topics, arranged in a single alphabet. This is followed by a list of acro- nyms and abbreviations used in our pages during the year; a glossary of language- industry terminology; and an index of the advertisers appearing in this directory. This special issue is also available at www.multilingual.com/resourceDirectory for your quick reference and for down- load. Subscribers can access it, too, as part of our digital edition. We hope you fi nd this special issue and the many other resources of Mul- tiLingual Computing, Inc., helpful and useful throughout the year. —The Staff of MultiLingual www.multilingual.com 2007 Resource Directory & Index 2006 MultiLingual 5 005-075-07 MMastheadasthead RD07.inddRD07.indd 5 11/10/07/10/07 33:33:36:33:36 PMPM on the web at www.multilingual.com e-Books Information for and about the language industry MultiLingual 2007 Resource Directory & Index 2006 Our website is designed to be an accessible, up-to-date Editor-in-Chief, Publisher: Donna Parrish information source and your link to the whole world Managing Editor: Laurel Wagers of language technology and international software Translation Dept.

  • Easing the Transition Into Remote Working Maximize Collaboration and Productivity with Voip and the Right Technology Tools
    Easing the Transition into Remote Working Maximize collaboration and productivity with VoIP and the right technology tools www.3cx.com CONTENTS 3 Introduction: Remote Working is the New Reality 4 Remote Working Challenges 5 Benefits of Working Remotely 6 Why VoIP is a Must-Have for Effective Telecommuting 8 The 3CX Advantage 10 Tips To Choose The Right Business Communications Solution 11 Conclusion Remote Working is the New Reality Although remote working has been steadily increasing for a number of years, the Covid-19 pandemic and resulting lockdowns brought about a paradigm shift in our workings, and has led to several long-term changes in our lives. What began as a localised viral outbreak, quickly culminated into the largest remote working exercise in history, with a dramatic increase in the number of remote workers across the globe. The unprecedented event drove enterprises to quickly transition to the remote working model in order to ensure business continuity. Fortunately, remote working has provided companies with the flexibility and connection required to stay on top amidst such challenging times. Remote working or teleworking comes with several challenges, both from a human and a technology perspective. It demands meticulous business planning, change in mindset, and more than anything else, the right technology tools to make it a success. Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), which facilitates web conferencing, chat, and mobile collaboration, is central to ensuring effective remote working experience. With the right tools at hand, the challenges of remote working can be easily addressed to make it a win-win proposition for both the employees and the employer.

    European Journal of Business, Economics and Accountancy Vol. 8, No. 1, 2020 ISSN 2056-6018 VALUATION OF TARGET FIRMS IN MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS: A CASE STUDY ON MERGER OF SKYPE AND MICROSOFT Nguyen Vuong Bang Tam Thu Dau Mot University VIETNAM [email protected] ABSTRACT Mergers and acquisitions have become the most popular used methods of growth for the company and it’s one of the best ways to make a shortcut to get the success. They create the larger potential market share and open it up to a more diversified market, increase competitive advantage against competitors. It also allows firms to operate more efficiently and benefit both competition and consumers. However, there are also many cases that the synergy between acquiring company and acquired company failed. The most common reason is to not create synergy between both of them. In recent months, the merger between Microsoft and Skype is a very hot topic of analysts and viewers…etc. This acquisition presents a big opportunity for both firms, Skype give Microsoft a boost in the enterprise collaboration. To exchange for this synergy, Microsoft paid $8.5 billion in cash for Skype, the firm is not yet profitable. Skype revenue totaling $860 million last year and operating profit of $264 million, the company lost $6.9 million overall, according to documents filed with the SEC. Is that a good deal for Microsoft? Many analysts have different point of view but most of them have negative perspective. Research was to provide the analysis of Skype’s intrinsic value with an optimistic view of point about Skype’s future, Microsoft overpaid for Skype.
