WALTHAM, Mass., Nov. 29, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Lionbridge (Nasdaq: LIOX), a leading provider of translation, development and testing solutions, today announced a new IT services outsourcing agreement with Golden Living, one of the largest providers of health care services in the United States. The program is expected to generate approximately $9 million over the three-year term.

This new program extends and expands this relationship to include additional enterprise application development, support and maintenance, and IT Help Desk services for Golden Living's portfolio of enterprise technology applications and systems.

We have found such a partner in Lionbridge," said Brad Savage, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer, Golden Living. "We include Lionbridge personnel in all of our strategic meetings and their expertise crosses many areas of our current and future IT requirements.

To support the Golden Living program, Lionbridge combines program management experts operating onsite at Golden Living's corporate headquarters location in Fort Smith, Arkansas, with a team of application engineers, developers, call center specialists, and support professionals offshore in Lionbridge's solution center in Mumbai, India. This multi-shore delivery approach enables the local program management team to be fully ingrained in Golden Living's processes and strategies, while taking advantage of the resource base and skills available in the Mumbai center to optimize service delivery.
