LAYING DOWN A SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS MODEL

“We started from scratch, around our kitchen table, with an overriding desire to remain profitable”, says Ann. Completing 23 years of indomitable business, Minesoft stands as an international specialist with a wide array of products. The Company worked closely with other Intellectual Property (IP) service providers for about five years in marketing, sales, and product development before branching out with their own products in the first decade of 2000. Then in 2003, they established a close association with RWS PLC – one of the biggest IP translation specialists in the world.
