MotionPoint

MotionPoint was founded in 2000 to help online retailers provide more complete, accurate and timely product information to shoppers.  One of the most popular features of MotionPoint’s “virtual product brochures” was consumers’ ability to view product information in different languages.

MotionPoint soon learned that while retailers had a limited need for its virtual brochures, nearly every company with a diverse customer base was interested in making its website multi-lingual.

MotionPoint listened.  Website executives explained that the complexity and expense of building and maintaining a multi-lingual web presence caused many companies to severely limit their multi-lingual content … or to offer none at all.

MotionPoint found a better way.  The company developed a suite of patent-protected technologies that make it quick and easy to add any language to any website – without any client IT development.  This approach continues to be a game-changer, eliminating the cost and complexity traditionally required by website translation.

MotionPoint’s first multi-lingual website client debuted in Spanish on November 1, 2003.  Fifteen more sites followed in 2004.  By 2007, MotionPoint was launching 100 websites every year.   Today, MotionPoint provides website translation and globalization services for nearly 400 clients, serving billions of multi-lingual web pages each year.

For nearly a decade, MotionPoint has received praise and recognition from leading industry analysts.  MotionPoint has been highlighted as a “Cool Vendor” by Gartner, Inc., and featured in several Forrester Research reports on multi-lingual website development.   MotionPoint has also been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Internet Retailer, Hispanic Market Weekly, South Florida Sun-Sentinel, The Miami Herald, Government Technology and others.

In 2008, MotionPoint was listed on Inc. Magazine’s Inc. 500, which ranks the 500 fastest-growing private companies in the United States.
