Project background: A series of poorly executed translations and limited processing capabilities hindered M&R’s ambitious campaign to expand globally. Avantpage foraged a close partnership with the organization – one that yielded an assessment of the organization’s processes and the logistics necessary to reverse the company’s international position. Under our advisement, M&R’s upper management committed a multi-million dollar investment to support advanced system capabilities by way of an industry-attentive Web site, document development, and localization infrastructure.
