Evert Taube:
Lingual assignments coordination, a big headache or an enjoyable job?
If you coordinate interpretations (spoken/sign languages) and/or translation assignments, you need to see how Lingsom can help to manage your resources in a more efficient way. Also, your clients and assignees will appreciate it, if you use a Digital Management System with intuitive, multifunctional and secure interfaces for them.
As far as we know, there are not many Managements Systems developed exactly to deal with both interpretations and translation assignments. So, this is one other reason to participate in this session.
Cyrus Jebraeil, Lingsom Oy
11:00-11:45
Sandberg: Thrive in the perfect storm. From a product and service concept to ecosystem thinking.
Translation is facing a perfect storm. There is an increasing demand for content due to the enormous success of content marketing and globalization. The customer of today is omnichannel and tech savvy. Contents are created in smaller units but reach higher volumes and frequencies. Multilingual is needed in a fast and cost-efficient way. The LSP of tomorrow is shifting from a single product or service concept to ecosystem thinking.
Automating the translation back end has been a must for many years, including MT for the last 2-3 years. Automating the pulling and pushing of content will be a must for the years to come. It is simply impossible to be an expert in everything. The only way to survive and thrive in a perfect storm is to pick the right ecosystem to join.
We will explain what role our content connectors and localization middleware play in this.

Evert Taube: XTRF

Brain ring
Moderated by Konstantin Dranch
Your key employee plotting to leave with your clients. Your production and sales argue against each other. Your key client asks for another 10% discount, or he would leave. What do you do? In the Brain Ring, participants quickly respond to a succession of anonymized management cases recorded from real business situations. A board of experienced judges scores the answers and elects the winner of the contest. Let the most convincing CEO win!
