PaxPort^TM Provides Accurate Online Bilingual Communication

June 2, 2006 - China, as a dynamic and growing market, presents a multitude of opportunities for U.S. businesses. However, doing business in China can present major challenges.

Yet interest remains strong. Approximately 600 representatives of area businesses attended the recent “China: Risk, Reward & How to Win” conference in Cleveland. The conference, organized by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s U.S. Commercial Service, included Strategies for successful China market entry, Ensuring (and enforcing!) your IPR protection, How to form productive partnerships with the Chinese, and more.

IdeaStar Business Development Manager Laurel Baldwin and President Jim Fisher attended the conference to promote the Web development company’s PaxPort^TM. Designed to assist companies with global communications, PaxPort^TM is an Internet application which provides one source of accurate, easy-to-retrieve information.

PaxPort^TM benefits include simultaneous translation in English and Chinese of the Web site, data convergence, ERP integration, 24/7 access, real-time order verification, easy access to digital documents, and more.

“Originally PaxPort^TM was developed for a major distributor of lighting products who’s manufacturing plants are located in China, and its headquarters and distribution center are in the Cleveland area,” Laurel said. With PaxPort^TM , the company has saved time, money and prevented countless translation errors.

For instance, before the use of PaxPort^TM, the company would send an e-mail to China. If it got through, somebody would have to translate it, then it would take another day for somebody to answer it. Sometimes it would take up to 10 e-mails to make sure the correct information was exchanged. “Now with the PaxPort^TM, that information is easily available online,” Laurel said.

Members of the Commerce Department expressed interest in having IdeaStar at future conferences. “This is an impressive online tool which solves challenges of doing business in China, or in any other foreign speaking country,” Laurel said. “It is easily customized to meet global enterprise needs.”
