“This December I will begin my 30th year leading TransPerfect’s day-to-day operations. In all that time, I have never seen us with a more capable team than I see today.”
The second quarter’s results come on the heels of a successful Q1 (up 21%), bringing billed revenue for the first half of 2021 to $498 million, a 28% increase when compared to the same period last year. The company now believes it will exceed the $1 billion mark for the full year of 2021 based on its organic growth rate. Sales of enterprise-level solutions for large multinationals were primarily responsible for the strong growth—the company intends to continue to make significant investments in technology and innovation to properly serve this critical market.
Demand by enterprise-level customers for GlobalLink, TransPerfect’s flagship translation management system, continues to be strong. Improvements in the platform’s design and UI have been launched for many of the core products, including Project Director, OneLink, TransPort, AI Portal, and MediaNEXT. DataForce, TransPerfect’s AI data-gathering and annotation platform, continues to grow rapidly and is expected to remain a focus for significant future investment.
