Mission
As experience acquired by Western companies doing business abroad, "speaking the language of the host country
(in the broad sense of this expression) is an important pre-condition to efficient, cost-effective, and expeditious
project implementation and makes it possible to avoid delays, misunderstandings, misinterpretation, false
expectations and, sometimes, even hostility.
To even a greater extent, this applies to projects involving complex financial arrangements, Western technology
sensitive environmental and local matters, etc. Meetings, negotiations and continuous liaison with governmental
agencies and local authorities of the host country, drafting of documentation, and other project activities
have demonstrated the vital importance of high quality language support services ensuring accuracy, consistency
with the conceptual language of local legislation and industry practices, confidentiality, availability, and reliability.
Diken Research handles only two languages, Russian and Ukrainian and provides a wide range of customized and
individualized services. Figuratively speaking, Diken Research is a specialized language and information services
boutique with supermarket capacities and resources.
