Your globalization services partner AAC Global provides a new brand of globalization services. We combine different forms of training and communication with multilingual and multicultural expertise to best support our customers’ needs and success in global business environments. See our Service Portfolio at a glance In Brief AAC Global Oy was established in 1969 to provide language training services for Finnish companies. Today we are the leading specialist company in multilingual communications in the Nordic countries offering a comprehensive range of support services for internationalization, including language training, communication skills training, management and leadership training, translation, editing and localization services, terminology management solutions, documentation and consultation services.

AAC Global has eight offices in Finland, two in Sweden and local offices in Denmark, Norway, Russia, the UK and China . In August 2008, we acquired Interverbum, a leading language service company in the Nordic markets. Today, AAC Global employs close to 500 dedicated professionals. In 2006, the company joined Sanoma Group, the leading media group in the Nordic region and merged with the Sanoma Learning and Literature Division.

What benefits do we offer our customers?

Product launches, marketing campaigns, strategy presentations and change management are just a few examples of our customers' important multilingual communications processes. We enhance their uniformity and quality - without compromising their speed of implementation.

Validated terminology and common communication practices are tools for standardizing our customers' oral and written communication. Optimized communication processes both improve the quality of the message in a multilingual environment and accelerate comprehension. Facilitating rapid implementation of new products and easily measurable cost savings are added value AAC Global offers.

Are you managing your language capital?

Rapidly expanding companies require more than just individual translation services or language courses. Language service products must be comprehensive, diverse and cost efficient, always working towards increased efficiency and synergy.

We provide all services related to the management of multilingual issues: translations, document, software and www localization, terminology standardizing services and tools, process and technology consulting, training planning and coordination services, language training, multicultural coaching and communication skill training. We help you identify and remove linguistic bottlenecks and employ language technology products in process automation wherever possible. The core of the multilingual approach is built on terminology - language capital in a crystallized form. Collecting and processing terms for use in the training and translation processes is one of AAC's special areas of expertise.
