JONCKERS: The Leader in Technologies for Globalization

Translation is not a matter of words only: it is a matter of making intelligible a whole culture.” -Anthony Burgess

communication is critical in today’s business world. Major decisions involving product deals, mergers, acquisitions, marketing, etc. depend on effective and sound communication between companies, customers and other parties. The business of translation has always had a significant human element – humans will always be needed to craft the nuanced translation needed for communication between cultures. The key is to balance the human touch with technology that makes humans more efficient. Global Communication has evolved from translation and localization as companies started to understand the direct connection between global market enablement and the revenue it can generate in non-domestic markets. JONCKERS identified this shift well before the wider translation industry, and developed a technology nfrastructure that delivers high-efficiency in managing the process of translation, along with an analytics engine that turns the massive amount of data into actionable intelligence.

JONCKERS started out as a translation company in 1994, creating long-standing relationships with companies such as Microsoft, Cisco and Adobe. In 2014, Peter Smith and David Ashton joined the organization to implement a technology approach that drives information through analytics to help companies make better decisions on global content distribution. This forward-looking technology strategy became a game-changer in the Global Content Communications space.

The translation domain is filled with many small companies but innovative solutions are less prevalent. JONCKERS has developed a technology platform unlike any other, delivering actionable business information at the same time as empowering the translation process itself. No other company has the ability to do this.
