WALTHAM, Mass., Nov. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Lionbridge
Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIOX) today announced that its
GeoFluent real-time translation solution is now available on the
Microsoft Azure cloud platform to support its global clients. The
availability of Azure from 30 regions across the globe allows
Lionbridge to support GeoFluent customer data residency
requirements and preferences for data storage. Customers also
