Translations.com, a world leader in language and technology solutions, today announced it has completed a transaction whereby Epik Solutions will become Epic Global Solutions, a division of Translations.com. Based in Boulder, Colorado, Epik is a globalization solutions company comprised of consultants, project managers, and software developers.
