Translation automation can open up new perspectives for organisations, but it also changes people's jobs. It is essential that the advantages of any new technology being considered for deployment is maximised for each stakeholder within the company and all users are well versed and trained – otherwise the main benefits can be lost. At worst the system can be disrupted enough to lose its overall objectives.

Our consultancy services are based on real practical experience gained by working with companies in similar positions. They focus on the roles and functions of each participant in the translation process: content owners, project managers, terminologists, translators, reviewers and end users.
