The innovation nominated by Argo Translation is attributed to integrations the company wrote that make up their internal Argo Operations system – a translation management system that tracks clients' spending, puts together compliance reports, and creates customized client portals.

"We are really honored by the nomination into the top 100 companies for the Chicago Innovation Award," says Peter Argondizzo, founder of Argo Translation. "Our systems are internal and not always apparent from the outside, but these systems allow us to focus on the important aspects of our work. The systems completely eliminate the more mundane, administrative aspects of project management. The set of tools allows us to reduce friction in the workflow and provide clients with high quality translation at a fair cost. In the background, the system collects data and exposes an incredibly detailed set of reports to our customers. This data allows them to quickly create translation budgets and meet any compliance requirements they have."

As one of the Top 100 Finalists, Argo Translation will receive a $2,500 scholarship to attend The Practical Innovator, a day-long executive education course on September 29^th led by top faculty who teach innovation at Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management.

Each of the Top 100 Finalists is also in the running for the annual "People's Choice Award," selected through online balloting at http://www.chicagoinnovationawards.com/2016-peoples-choice-award-2/.
