Making the most of external support: with a reasonably small internal team, Atlassian localization experts need to rely on the support and expertise of multiple external partners, particularly for quality assurance steps.

Electronic Arts (or EA) is a name that needs little introduction — regardless of whether or not you’re a video game aficionado. EA is the publisher behind some of the best-known and most beloved gaming franchises out there, such as FIFA, Madden NFL, Battlefield and Sims. Chances are that if you have yet to play a game published by EA yourself, your child or someone you’re close to probably has.
