SDL Government Opens New Office to Provide Big Language(TM) Solutions(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) HERNDON, VA -- (Marketwired) -- 01/28/14 -- SDL Government today announced the opening of their new facility, dedicated to providing government agencies with secure on-premise Big Language™ solutions to translate massive amounts of Big Data quickly, accurately and cost effectively. The volume, velocity and variety of Big Data, multiplied by the number of languages it spans, have transformed government Big Data challenges into government Big Language™ challenges. As a result, the amount of data that must be translated in near-real time has grown exponentially, making it difficult to translate even a fraction of the content without computer assisted translation tools. Located in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area, the new SDL Government office at Dulles Corner in Herndon, Virginia, will bring SDL Government's language technology product and service solutions closer to government agencies. A cadre of cleared language scientists, technologists, software developers, technicians and program managers who specialize in delivering innovative solutions for government Big Language™ challenges, staffs the office. The SDL Government core offerings include: COTS Machine Translation, Management and Productivity Software Custom Product Development/R&D Rapid Development of Custom Language Domains/New Language Pairs SDL Government's new CEO and Chairman of the Board, Melchior Baltazar, is leading the innovation charge at the company's new office. A strategic thinking, hands-on business leader with a distinctive background of government, professional and military experiences, Baltazar brings a track record of success to SDL Government. In the National Security sector, he provides the access and knowledge to navigate an otherwise closed and misunderstood market. His deep domain knowledge of the DoD and National Security markets, the government procurement process, and extensive relationships with key industry decision makers, will help the company drive new use cases for their established products and services. Mr. Baltazar is a former U.S. Navy SEAL, Staff Judge Advocate General (JAG), corporate attorney, entrepreneur, and senior business executive. He is a frequent speaker at conferences and is the author of several industry articles. He received his B.A., M.A. and J.D. from the University of Virginia. "SDL Government's move to Dulles Corner enables us to rapidly support our US Government constituencies with technical expertise from cleared US citizens, when facing the challenges of Big Language translation," said Baltazar.
