The survey captures comprehensive data related to language services and technology. Participants will:

• Receive a free report. All qualified respondents will receive a copy of the report we published in May of last year, titled “The Language Services Market: 2012.” This report contains detailed information on the language services market by service, geography, supplier size, revenue, and hard-to-find data like number of project managers, salespersons, and other important variables. How do you qualify for the survey? Participants must represent a language service provider (LSP) or technology vendor with two or more employees, and must fill out the survey accurately and completely.
• Qualify for a ranking. Last year, we published a list of the Top 100 global language service providers, along with regional rankings for every part of the world. This year, we are inviting technology vendors to participate in a separate ranking. Also, we plan to expand the ranking to include more vendors than ever before. Last year, LSPs needed approximately US$4 million to qualify for the Top 100 global ranking. Players in some markets, such as Latin America and Africa, required as little as US$0.5 million in order to be considered a leader in their national market.
• Gain insight and visibility. Every year, an increasing number of companies participate in our study and contribute to our knowledge on the industry, its challenges, characteristics, and important trends. Enterprise buyers of language services – that is, customers – turn to Common Sense Advisory’s data when trying to identify key players in the industry. Likewise, members of the media and investors often look at our annual “state of the industry” report. More.
