“I have enjoyed working with Across Translation and have found all of the staff to be helpful and extremely knowledgeable. I especially liked the fact that all of the unusual and meticulous requests that IBM presented while working on this project were dealt with immediately and professionally – and all within the original quote. Across Translation’s professionalism has been unparalleled.” IBM Asia Pacific
