Thank you for sending me Offshore Back Office Operations (featured in issues 3/2000 and 1/2001). I am a registered translating agency with a German company which is already giving me work. We are in the final stages of being registered by other firms in Spain, France and the United States. Because of this, Togolese translators have decided to stay here to act as outsourced personnel for us, despite the general economic situation.

How I wish I had read Forum much more seriously and had used the services of ITC earlier! Now I am confident about rebuilding my crippled company with negligible financial outlay and above all without recourse to any external loans.
