History
Historically, International Assistance was a
supplier in the secondary translation and localization market offering
language solutions to a variety of world-class organizations through
primary translation and localization vendors. In early 2001, our organization transitioned firmly into the primary market
emerging as a solid direct language service provider to mainstream
businesses. Some notable clients that we have served include
the following:
- Novell
- WordPerfect
- Iomega
- Gallop
- Albertson’s
- John Deer
- Zebra
- Right Fax
- Disney
- Deloitte & Touche

Our insights from both our current
(primary) and former (secondary) positions in the translation market
have allowed us to develop highly efficient processes,
methodologies, and service competencies. We continue to operate with
the low overhead, competitive cost structure, core values, and
traditional customer service of our roots. We focus our resources
and priorities directly on the individuals and technologies that
provide language products and services to you.
