Simon Hodgkins discusses how to modernize localization strategies without disrupting existing processes.

Simon Hodgkins, Host of VistaTalks and Chief Marketing Officer at Vistatec, explores one of the biggest questions facing global organizations today: How do you modernize your localization strategy without disrupting what's already working?
