Product Development
Building and Maintaining Commercial-Grade Software
Lionbridge provides comprehensive software development services to technology companies building commercial-grade products. From our solution centers in North America, Asia, and Eastern Europe, we offer a global infrastructure for ground-up software development, feature enhancement, release management, and product support.
For several key verticals, including Healthcare, Life Sciences, K-12 Education, Mobile, and Online Business and Media technology companies, we offer specialized solutions accelerators.
"Right-Shoring"
Many of our clients, which include some of the world's most recognizable brands, tell us that their previous development outsourcing initiatives have often run aground due to business culture mis-alignment and lack of vendor domain expertise.
Alternatively, they have found our flexible "right-shore" options, including low-cost North America sites as well as offshore locations, combined with specialist vertical domain expertise and program governance rigor, have helped them successfully achieve their outsourcing objectives: faster ramp-up, faster time-to-market, improved product quality, and reduced cost. With outsourcing headaches moved to the backburner, Lionbridge clients can focus their top in-house talent on other priority initiatives.
Range of Technologies and Development Models
Lionbridge works in all the major commercial product development environments. Along with end-to-end proficiency in the Microsoft, Java/J2EE, and LAMP solution stacks, we develop products along the complete mobile technology continuum (server-carrier-O/S-handset-application); and within the Rich Internet Application and SaaS spectrum, we use frameworks like Ruby-on-Rails and Ajax technologies. Our teams work in both iterative and traditional development frameworks—or can propose a blend of both, such as applying Agile rapid prototyping to a waterfall workflow.
Project Management
Whether we're handling the whole job or one phase; all work is always performed under a flexible project governance model with true, single-point-of-contact global management. Offshore, our teams are ISO 20072 and CMM-5 certified, and our acclaimed Quality Management System (QMS) ensures that each phase of work includes state-of-the-art reviews, controls, metrics and checkpoints. Always, we focus on controlling costs.
Global Enablement
Importantly, as a next-generation product development company operating on a global scale, Lionbridge doesn't just build market-leading software, we also enable it for worldwide revenue by providing local market adaptation, localization, even in-country testing as part of our release-management service.
Along with our seasoned technical architects, we offer the #1 rated VeriTest™ quality assurance methodology; the world's largest localization operation with 45+ offices in 25 countries; and we operate a premiere technical documentation, customer support, customer monitoring and professional services organization.
