2. Small localisation team.
Very little funding.
High demand for more locales.
Field funded model poor take-up.
Large aggregate USD value
attached to sales.
Localisation team cannot take on
any more locales.

4. The Cisco Localisation Toolkit is
an extensible, product agnostic,
wizard-like tool that can localise
any internationalised product.
It has a client-server architecture
that is extended through product
specific plug-ins.
Reduces license fees
significantly.
