SunFlare Attains Idiom Technologies Platinum LSP Partner Status

Exclusive Distributor of WorldServer™ in Japan Implements WorldServer in Internal Operations


WALTHAM, Mass. - July 10, 2007 - Idiom® Technologies, Inc. (Idiom), the leading independent supplier of SaaS and on-premise server-based globalization management systems (GMS), today announced that SunFlare LTD, Japan's leading supplier of globalization software and services, has been named to the Platinum tier in the Idiom LSP Partner Program. SunFlare and Idiom entered into a joint technology and distribution agreement in August of 2006, and SunFlare is the exclusive distributor of WorldServer in Japan. The company was instrumental in the development and testing of WorldServer for the Japanese market.

"Our existing partnership with SunFlare has enabled us to rapidly build a footprint for WorldServer in Japan," said Mike Iacobucci, president and chief executive officer, Idiom Technologies. "By elevating SunFlare to the Platinum tier of our LSP Partner Program, we're acknowledging SunFlare's demonstrated expertise with WorldServer globalization solutions, as well as their valued support in making WorldServer the most advanced globalization platform for the Japanese market. We see tremendous opportunity for both companies as globalization of content, from websites to documentation, becomes a critical advantage for companies in Japan and throughout Asia competing in global markets."

The Platinum tier of the LSP Partner Program recognizes LSPs, like SunFlare, that have contributed substantially to the program and show the greatest capacity to accelerate the adoption of WorldServer GMS solutions in the translation and localization industry. In recognition of SunFlare's contribution, the two companies will engage in joint marketing, business development and technology development activities on an on-going basis.

Since founding SunFlare 35 years ago, company president Hiroyuki Sasai has searched for the ideal translation solution. After discovering Idiom WorldServer, Sasai became convinced that it would be the ideal solution to satisfy Japanese global enterprises. Of his decision to engage in a partnership with Idiom, Sasai said, "As the exclusive distributor of WorldServer in Japan, we plan to offer the comprehensive, multilingual translation solution as a package system. At the same time, we will aggressively use Idiom WorldServer as the core system in our own translation division so we can enhance our translation services. We are delighted to have achieved the status of Idiom Platinum LSP Partner, as we see this as recognition of our commitment to the partnership with Idiom, our technical expertise and our ability to provide sophisticated localization solutions to our customers."
