"Technical Translations understood the brief, provided a rapid and competitive quote and then delivered against their commitment exactly as promised. ASI would have no hesitation in using them again"
"Excellent service offering translation and marketing services for specific business needs. I am pushed to find anything better!"
"The quality of the service we received was excellent, I was kept well informed as to the progress of our translation and the proofreading of the translated brochures before printing was a great reassurance."
"We found Technical Translations to be professional, proficient and we have enjoyed working with their staff. They have provided a good service and are competitive with pricing."
As Microsoft say, “We can’t predict the future – but we can plan for it.” Technical Translations agree – we have not merely been watching the explosion of development surrounding the birth of the digital wireless age from the sidelines; we have been gearing up to meet its challenges ourselves with our cloud-based approach to providing translation services. Our project managers and translators may be located all over the world, but we work and communicate seamlessly every day via Collabor8, an online project management, task and document sharing tool.
One can readily see how useful this approach is to a translations agency, but global take-up of a remote working lifestyle could change the face of business for good. And it could go global. Everywhere you look, the business community is discussing the rise of cloud-based services and the effect they will have on traditionally run companies. Online, in the newspapers and in the boardroom, speculation is rife and questions are being asked as to exactly how business and indeed the wider society will be affected by the future of the mobile web and it is generally held that companies that are slow on the uptake could well find themselves being left behind by the more forward-thinking competition. Also, younger, technology-savvy generations will be both eager and well-equipped to carry forward the use of tablets and other wireless mobile devices into their working lives.
Recently some news articles very pertinent to this topic have come to Technical Translations’ notice, and we’re going to start sharing them with visitors to our press room. The BBC are running a Future Of Work series throughout February, and we have been reading a piece written for them by Google’s Sebastien Marotte. He believes that we are on the cusp of change, exciting change for business and highlights three key areas where he believes new technologies will dramatically alter future working practices. With strong emphasis placed on the importance of social networking and the mobile web, his article is well worth a read to any entrepreneur thinking about how best to plan to meet the challenges ahead.

The message is very clear and it is coming from all sides. Another technology news provider states that IT departments must prepare for a cloud-based future as this will become the “dominant way of providing IT services”. The good news for those business owners out there beginning to scratch their heads over the likely financial implications of all this imminent change is that it will actually translate into reduced overheads in the long run. In fact if we look far enough ahead, we can see savings on all sorts of expenditure such as company cars, office overheads, accidents at work, IT services, time lost through winter weather etc., just to mention a few.
It is a fact of existence that the capability to adjust to external changes is the key to survival, and the rapids of the technology race leave no commercial enterprise exempt from this rule. Now is the time to discover, learn about and utilise any available cutting edge technology that will give you the leading edge over your competitors, for it is our adaptability today that ensures our existence tomorrow.
