Company XYZ

XYZ is a translation agency providing the following services:

•Translation, localization, language editing, and proof-reading

•Certification of translated documents

•Simultaneous and consecutive interpretation

•Desktop publishing and graphic design

•Rental of conference interpreting equipment

XYZ is currently growing at 20-25 percent per year. Their current backup solution is not able to keep pace with this growth. The backup process is very labor intensive because of the manual process in handling backup tapes.
