(Idiom), the leading independent provider of scalable software solutions for accelerating and optimizing globalization initiatives, today announced it tripled the number of new customer wins from 2005 to 2006.

"Brands across the Fortune 1000 and beyond are seeing the strategic value of GMS and its potential to deliver top-line growth due to accelerated time-to-global-markets in addition to proven translation cost-saving benefits. If the record attendance at our Idiom WorldSummit Europe late last month is any indication, 2007 is shaping up to be an equally successful year for our company."

Strong 2006 Customer Momentum
Idiom Technologies set a new benchmark for customer wins in 2006, tripling the number of new WorldServer customers versus 2005 and adding marquee international brands such as Cisco, Beckman-Coulter, Gambro, AOL, Business Objects, Novell and Quixtar.

The Idiom Technologies LSP Advantage Program, which already built significant momentum with rapidly growing partners such as VistaTEC in 2005, this year added Matrix, Moravia and Applied Languages.
