SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - February 26, 2009 - Utah Business magazine named Matt Aaron, who serves dual roles as VP of Globalization Services and CFO of ACULIS, Inc., one of the top "Forty Under 40" business leaders to watch in 2009.

In an article presenting honorees, Utah Business magazine reported, "Utah's business community is rich with a youthful and energetic workforce. The 2009 lineup of "Forty under 40" is an array of serial entrepreneurs, technology innovators and finance gurus—each bringing something unique to Utah's dynamic business community." 1

In 2002, Matt saw an opportunity to grow a business around supplying high-quality globalization (G11N), internationalization (I18N), and localization (L10N) services for Utah's growing technology business sector. Since then, Matt has grown the Globalization Division of ACULIS from 1 to 15 employees, as well as a built an international network of hundreds of native translators across the globe, supplying multilingual translation solutions in over 35 languages that effectively address regional nuances and prevent contextual misunderstandings.

Matt explains, "At ACULIS, we advocate a process called 'Intelligent Translation™', a combination of leading-edge translation technology, the industry's best human translators, and translation memory, which comprises a database of text segments in a source language and their translations into target languages."

Matt explains, "When I began working in the IT development industry, globalization was an afterthought. Today, it's a necessity. Choosing the right partner for creating customized, globally ready IT architectures is critical; investing in an experienced software development agency that produces globally ready code as a matter of course will save you time, hassle, and money."

Matt accepted his award on February 25th at a special Utah Business luncheon in Salt Lake City, Utah along with the 39 other honorees.
