Two industry leaders have joined forces to offer translation, multi-language document review, and technology and services to the international e-discovery and compliance markets. Catalyst Repository Systems, Inc. a pioneer in providing cloud-based technology platforms for global compliance and  litigation matters, today announced a strategic alliance with Tokyo-based Honyaku Corporation, a 40-year-old veteran international language service provider, and its subsidiary, Honyaku USA, based in Los Angeles. 

The partnership aims to increase productivity of clients squeezed by crushing document volumes and prohibitive language-related costs by setting new standards for machine accuracy and human speed in legal translation. The collaboration provides clients in North America and Asia unrivaled language services by leveraging the speed and intelligence of Catalyst’s e-discovery technology within a workflow designed by professional linguists for cohesive, consistent and defensible cross-border discovery. The integration across sales, operations and product development units ensures clients experience superior customer service and exceptional results in managing diverse document populations.  

“Catalyst approaches both the technical and the linguistic complexities of Japanese and other Asian languages at a level of sophistication that’s unprecedented, even among Japanese e-discovery companies,” said Takeshi Harada, president of Honyaku Corporation. “Catalyst’s Enhanced Machine Translation (EMT) workflow and its translation module have opened a new market for us. With EMT, case teams and legal departments can put Honyaku linguists to work earlier to reduce cost and maintain data security.”

“We are excited to work closely with Honyaku Corporation and its subsidiary, Honyaku USA, to manage multi-language documents across the international litigation market,” said John Tredennick, Catalyst's founder and CEO. “Honyaku maintains an exceptional reputation for quality work product and exceptional customer service. We look forward to expanding our language expertise throughout North America as well as in Asia.”
