CTI – Communication Trend Italia has been an official European Union supplier for many years.

Triple A was founded in 1973 in Milan under the name of CTI Centro Traduttori Interpreti. In a market that witnessed the birth of the first translation agencies, CTI Centro Traduttori Interpreti stood out as a supplier of technical translations and specialist interpretation, becoming one of the main partners of large industry leaders and some of the first and most important multinationals, such as IBM, Xerox, and Olivetti. Since the early 80’s, interpreting became a part of a more detailed and structured process that saw the creation of the conference department, which from that moment onward has been in charge of all services for event organization and pre/post conference activities.

Long before our competitors, the use of technological and IT solutions in supporting the services offered has always been a company strength – a feature that has allowed us to perfect the compatibility of services provided, time-to-market and the reduction of time and costs. CTI was one of the first companies to actively adopt CAT tools, i.e. innovative computer-assisted translation software.
In order to offer high-quality services, whether translations or interpreting, excellent working language skills are only the first step. These language skills must then be completed with detailed domain knowledge. For this reason, CTI’s supplier strategy has always focused on sector professionals equipped with language skills, such as economists, doctors and engineers, as opposed to linguists.

In the 90s, CTI pivoted and saw an opportunity to provide linguists with high-quality training in the sectors with the greatest market demand – not only in the form of glossaries as an end in themselves, but in-depth education in the relevant sectors guided by high-profile teachers. Specialization Masters’ for translators and interpreters were designed and organized in every detail for the following areas: IT and Localization, Medicine and Pharmacology and Economics and Finance.
Today these Masters’ still represent unique training tools in the sector on a national level. There have been many other initiatives to support the growing demand for training, resulting in customized language courses and specialist courses on different aspects of the industry.

In 2011, Fabrizio Hugony published the Triple A dictionary, the first and only English-Italian dictionary specifically designed for auditors, accountants, CFOs and professional translators working in the economic and financial sector.

In 2021, the founder and long-serving CEO of CTI, Ornella Brighenti Hugony, sold the company to Triple A, a company held by a group of partners, among which a large accounting firm in Milan, accounting firms in Spain, France and China and a leading software house, with the aim of consolidating CTI’s positioning as a language service provider for the accounting, auditing, and administration market. Thanks to the support of the partners and the common network, CTI is able to develop one-of-a-kind technical and IT offerings.
