Language technology is a very exciting industry. In the last 5 years alone, we have seen an explosion of competitive start-ups grow into maturity. The competition for enterprise clients is higher than ever. Nimdzi works with language technology providers to help them better understand the market and gain a competitive edge. Technology is constantly evolving, making it impossible for individual companies to keep up. Nimdzi vigilantly watches and reports on all the relevant developments in language technology so our clients can rest assured that they remain well informed.

The language services industry is not fragmented… it is pulverized! There is no one player or group of players in the addressable market for services that holds anything close to a majority of the available business. Competition is fierce between LSPs, and mergers, acquisitions, and strategic partnerships are more and more common. Nimdzi provides assistance navigating the M&A process to owners and investors who are looking to sell their company, acquire a competitor, or secure outside funding and investment.
Don’t let the M&A process intimidate you. Partner with Nimdzi’s experts, who will guide you at each step of the way. Contact Nimdzi today to find out more.

We are language services experts
Nimdzi Insights is a diverse team of analysts, linguists, consultants, technology geeks, and researchers with one goal – Helping our clients succeed in the global marketplace.




We keep it simple. We provide our clients with four critical ingredients to success:
-
At Nimdzi, we believe that a lot of our industry’s challenges stem from the fact that not everybody has access to the same quality and quantity of information. With more access to better information, everybody wins. That is why our clients, whether large, small, or in-between, get access to all of our published research.
With our Nimdzi Partnership model, subscribing companies get full access to all our research. We don’t charge based on number of users – everybody in our clients’ organization gets full access. We know that our research is only useful if it is consumed by as many people as possible. That is why we will even work with you to help evangelize Nimdzi services within your organization to encourage all of your team members to take full advantage of our research and services.
We don’t provide different sets of information to “buyer-side” and “vendor-side” clients. Doing so only widens the information gap. Everybody gets the same high quality information so that everybody can make high quality decisions.
Check out our services and pricing page for more details, or contact us today to discuss how you can get access for your entire team to all of our industry research.
-
Market research analysts and consultants like us act as accelerators for your plans. They should show you what you would otherwise have missed, they should challenge your enthusiasm with a reality check, and they should present you with areas of opportunity that you may not have considered.
One of our most in-demand services for our Nimdzi Partner clients is that we offer unlimited 30-minute calls to speak directly with us, no matter who you are in the company chain of command. (Yes, you read that right… this applies to all of your team members). Anybody at your company can reach out to anybody on our team to ask questions about our research, get feedback on current initiatives they may be working on, or just to get a little one-on-one coaching and advice.
Check out our services and pricing page for more details, or contact us today to discuss how Nimdzi can help you reach out business goals.
-
Managing and training a team can be overwhelming. That’s why many of our clients ask us to help out. Nimdzi has a proven syllabus of training programs that can easily be customized to fit your unique training needs, whether it be focused on Sales, Program Management, Technology, or something else. Contact us and explain to us your unique challenge and we can put together a program that meets your needs.
In addition to traditional training programs and seminars, Nimdzi also hosts regular webinars, speaks at industry events, and serves on advisory boards for various clients and industry associations. Consider asking Nimdzi be a speaker at your next event, a guest lecturer in your next class, or an advisor at your next board meeting.

Operating in today’s global marketplace means navigating complex and competing geopolitical and cultural realities with inherent risks and challenges. Nimdzi helps you understand the lens through which your international customers view the world—the parameters in your global markets that drive the culture underlying language and communication. Nimdzi offers Enterprise, LSP, Technology and Government clients customized research ranging from market, geopolitical, cultural and language intelligence to sensitive terminology and image review to content internationalization consulting.

What people say about Nimdzi
-
Sasan Banava, Head of Localization at Uber
Uber’s complex supply chain and ever-changing environment require a lot of flexibility and timely decisions by our team members.
Since we started working with Nimdzi, our localization professionals have taken advantage of the Office Hours consulting platform to address issues such as vendor management, neural machine translation strategies, and language quality assurance.
Their consultants are always available to discuss our challenges and provide us with professional insights.
-
Marina Ilari, Remote Project Management Trainings at Terra Translations
We invited Nimdzi to host a workshop with our project managers, and the results were great. They worked with me beforehand to understand what our specific needs were. I told them the points that I would like to cover in the training, and Nimdzi custom-designed a workshop that addressed all of my specific needs. The whole engagement was very interactive and responsive. The practical insights we gained during this trainings have given us good ideas on how to continuously improve our growth strategy as Terra Translations continues to grow by acquiring new clients and strengthening our relationships with existing ones.
I would recommend Nimdzi to any language service provider that would like to give their teams some new skills training, some fresh insight, or just an injection of motivation.
-
Joanna Gough, Lecturer in Translation Studies, University of Surrey, UK
We use Nimdzi’s publications at the Centre for Translation Studies, University of Surrey, UK as resources for our MA module ‘Business and Industry Aspects of the Translation Profession’ and as a general source of information for our MA and PhD students about trends, markets and technologies in the language industry. We also use the book The General Theory of the Translation Company to help students understand the specific nature of the language industry and how to think of translation as a business. Nimdzi Insights are a welcome addition to the growing pool of much needed and previously not accessible language industry information which helps us prepare new, more business-aware entrants to this industry.
-
Hayley Smith, MA Translation, University of Surrey, UK
Having access to industry insights from Nimdzi this year while I’ve been completing my translation masters has been truly invaluable. Not only was the content incredibly useful as a reference for assignments, but it was also perfect for keeping up-to-date with vital industry trends and innovations, meaning I felt ahead of the game in my new career before I’d even graduated!
-
Cristiana Luppi, Production Manager at Crestec
There’s a lot of information out there related to localization, just too much to properly scan, read, study and assimilate. It’s getting more and more overwhelming every day. My experience is that Nimdzi helps me with a very practical and pragmatic approach guiding me through this maze of information and providing concrete, concise and very often visual “pills” of knowledge. It’s a great help to follow them and they are definitely on top of things!
-
Elena Grigoras, CEO at TRAVOD Int
Nimdzi is a good consultancy company which we can recommend full heartedly, which would help any small and mid size LSP change the mindset, strengthen the focus in the business, unleash the potential of the organization. They have intelligence on the industry and know how biggest companies got on the top. Their biggest contribution could be to the sales and business development department.
If you’re looking to revamp your sales processes, get a training or two from Nimdzi.

Can ANYBODY tell me the difference between SLAs and KPIs? Public
We’ve all used KPIs and SLAs before (or at least talked about them). They are part of our everyday vocabulary.

Sure, we […]
