Services offered within the scope of the Language Industry are mostly related to TMS, including tools for terminology extraction, knowledge management and communication, throughout the productive chain. The article concludes upon a survey conducted in the three biggest cities of Colombia about the appropriation levels of such tools in this industry and its impact on firm development.
