We coordinate with your support staff to provide training seminars either in central Paris for the resellers and system integrators dealing with your products — or on site at the facilities of large OEMs and customers when its is otherwise appropriate.

04 Translation and Localization Services

We provide precise translation of your technical and marketing materials by using only certified professionals trained in both translation and engineering who are situated in the target country where the product is to be marketed.

We further the translation process with the integration of the translated material back into the product which is then repackaged to assure it conforms to the specific norms necessary for its success in its particular market.

By combining the correct translations with the right marketing approach, we assure that your product and its supporting materials are crisp, clear and effective in the new markets that they are to address.

Testimonials

We advise and assist Executive Leadership in the technology sectors. The quality of the work and the satisfaction of the Senior Management who called upon us are the best proof of this.

I had the opportunity to work together with Joseph Santilli during engagements for two major European manufacturing concerns, specifically focused on AI, business intelligence and corporate development strategies. As an American living in Europe for many years, Joseph excels at combining the appropriate European and American business cultures in his approaches with the corporate accounts. He succeeds to understand the market, as well as know the key global players. I have also observed his negotiating skills – smooth but with efficiency and gravitas. He has many commercial achievements — which is perhaps the best testimonial of his knowledge, commitment and determined expertise.

Mr. Santilli and his team at ATi were central in our introduction into the European market for our range of wind turbine sensors (eddy current, displacement, optical fiber Bragg grating, accelerometers) and wind sensing devices (mechanical, ultrasonic, LIDAR). His leadership, vision and determination largely contributed to the rapid European sales success of our products and services. We valued being supported by such capable and passionate professionals who possessed an awareness of European markets and a grasp of our technology.

During my tenure as Senior Sales and Marketing Director for Byers Engineering Company, a provider of quality technical services and software solutions to the communications, utility, and government industries, I engaged Joseph and his company to introduce, grow and support our product offerings into Europe. With determination, exceptional business sense and expertise, he exceeded our objectives in creating Europe-wide distribution channels and an array of new European corporate customers that contributed to a durable increase in both sales and profitability. He is a strong partner with boundless energy, smarts, and perseverance.

Joseph’s help and advice during the launch of our innovative shape-enhancing textile lines were precious and invaluable both on the creative end as well as in brand positioning. Quickly securing as initial point-of sales for the brand in the “crème de la crème” department stores and specialty boutiques in Paris was completely unheard of and made for a very successful product launching in France. It defined the brand’s credibility and image and confirmed that our chosen strategy and direction was indeed the right one. I thank him ever so much for this!
