A modern translation firm is more a technology or production company than a classic team of linguists. We have an engineering department, an ERP system, a quality management system, as well as a number of technological solutions, e.g., the Global Technology Platform (GTP) we developed for taking orders and managing projects. Finally, like all leading translation providers, we actively use software to generate translation memories, as well as professional machine translation systems with subsequent post- editing. Many believe that some emerging technology will sooner or later kill our industry, but so far, the situation has been quite the opposite — professional use of this technology makes us more competitive and allows us to translate large volumes of content.

We encounter various examples of Uberization in our daily lives. Some people call Uber to get to places and some use similar platforms to choose professional service providers, such as tutors. Some believe that the use of such platforms shortens the logistics chain and connects service providers directly to service consumers.

The start-up culture and structure allows small, nimble organizations to develop highly innovative products and services and take them to market quickly. Successful start-ups are generally believed to be more scalable than established businesses, in that they have the potential to grow rapidly with a limited investment of capital and labor.

It is widely recognized that for a translation company to provide maximum quality they need to understand the context of the text they are translating. Here’s a simple example: if a piece of text refers to ‘a ball’ it may be helpful for the translator to know if it refers to a tennis ball, a medicine ball, or even a dance.

A lot has been said in the industry recently about firing clients that suppliers do not like for one reason or another. These reasons may vary: low rates, excessive requirements, subjective quality assessment systems and, as a result, unjustified claims, delayed payments or failure to pay, poor communication, and numerous other issues.
