This is a guest post from Steve Gotz of the Centre for Next Generation Localisation  (CNGL)

I am excited to announce that the Centre for Next Generation Localisation (CNGL) will offer a ‘sneak peak’ at the localisation and global content intelligence technologies of the future, when we present our annual Innovation Showcase on 16th November 2011 at Croke Park Convention Centre, Dublin. The showcase will highlight the economic and societal impact of work at the SFI-funded centre, while also presenting a selection of exciting technologies that are ripe for commercialisation via a variety of channels.

Why should you attend?

Technologies such as machine translation, text analytics, speech processing, digital content slicing and adaptive hypermedia are radically changing the way businesses operate on a global scale. Attendees at the Innovation Showcase will have the opportunity to not only view fundamental scientific advances that will be impacting their businesses in the not-to-distant future but also a chance to discuss real-world challenges and opportunities with some of the leading academic minds in the fields.

Our showcases have become particularly fertile grounds for companies looking to solve specific problems or find new product offerings. I look forward to a productive day working with the indigenous community of Multinationals and SMEs to ensure that Ireland remains at the forefront of content management and localisation innovation.

CNGL’s Innovation Showcase is being presented as part of the Innovation Dublin Festival 2011. The event open to the public and free to attend; however spaces are limited. For full details and to register, see www.cngl.ie/showcase

A 2008 survey from business communications firm Damovo found that the Irish economy is currently losing almost EUR693 million a year due to inefficient communications. The study found that some 24 percent of Irish office staff are using unified communications to tackle this issue, and an overwhelming 91 percent of them believe UC tools are useful for their work.

Effective collaboration between colleagues in different locations doesn’t have to involve complicated networking equipment and enterprise-sized IT budgets.

In fact, with a little know-how, you can create a highly effective collaborative framework that will enable your staff to talk, exchange files, and collaborate on important projects, at very little cost. (more…)
