It’s almost time for the highlight of the e-commerce calendar—the annual Akeneo summit, Unlock 2021!

Translations.com is thrilled join Akeneo as an Elite-level sponsor for this year’s flagship PIM and PXM industry event. Here are three reasons why you should join Translations.com and Akeneo at Unlock 2021.

The PIM Market is Booming

Since we began partnering with Akeneo more than five years ago, the product information management (PIM) market has grown exponentially.

As of last year, the global PIM market hit $9 billion. By 2025, it’s expected to reach an eye-popping $16 billion.

Along the way, we’ve been proud to see our friends at Akeneo rise to the top of the class, winning recognition as a PIM leader from leading analysts including IDC and Ventana.

Translations.com has also gone from strength to strength, cementing our position as the world’s largest provider of enterprise localization services and technology solutions. From offices in over 100 cities on six continents, we offer a full range of services in over 170 languages to clients worldwide, with more than 5,000 global organizations employing our GlobalLink^® technology to simplify management of their multilingual content.

Cross-Border E-Commerce is Thriving

The strength of our partnership is borne out by the many cross-border commerce success stories that we’ve enabled over the years, working together to drive value for dozens of brands and merchants.

PIM and automated translation management systems have proven to be a win-win combination for enterprises, allowing top brands to expand into new geographies and markets.

In fact, despite the numerous global challenges of the last year, cross-border e-commerce has posted 21% growth and continues to grow at double the rate of domestic commerce.

The bottom line: new e-commerce innovations, like the synergies we’re unlocking at Akeneo and Translations.com, are making online buying and selling a genuinely global endeavor.

A Strong Partnership = A Better Solution

From adapting unit conversions to translating product descriptions, and from culture-aware product content localization to compliance with local rules and regulations, Translations.com and Akeneo empower brands to get results across multiple regions using a single unified platform. This solution dramatically reduces the time needed to break into a new market and creates outstanding multilingual product experiences that drive conversions, reduce turns, and increase customer brand loyalty.
