Ever since the invention of the first writing system in Mesopotamia, humans have used writing as a means of communication in exchanging information. Our company name, ALVIS, comes from the ancient Norwegian word for wisdom. In choosing for our company name the wisdom humanity drew upon when devising a writing system, we at ALVIS intend to continue our pursuit of information exchange technologies.

The spread of internet-based media in today's society has made language processing a vital aspect of global communication, moving outside the borders of international society. We believe our company's mission is to become a global communicator, using multimedia technology to facilitate communication throughout the world.

The five keywords encompassed by the name ALVIS are the foundation upon which we will continue to lead at the cutting edge of the information industry.
