15.09.06 Accenture chooses Overtaal as translation partner

Accenture (www.accenture.com) is active internationally in the areas of management consultancy, technology services and outsourcing. Its 110 offices are found in 48 countries and employ over 123,000 people, 2,000 of which work in the Netherlands.

Jones Lang LaSalle is one of the global market leaders in real estate services. The company has been active in the Netherlands for 30 years and boasts five Dutch offices.

In June of this year, Accenture and Jones Lang LaSalle decided to publish a joint Request for Proposal (RFP) for translation agencies, with a view to ensuring higher quality translations and service, while reducing the total translation costs for both companies.

Thirteen translation agencies were asked to submit proposals for the RFP. Following an initial written selection procedure and an oral presentation, Overtaal was the final choice. The deciding factors in the companies' choice were Overtaal's impressive portfolio, the history of good business relations with Accenture and the high quality of Overtaal's product.
