Leveling the Playing Field for Global Communication
Increased adoption of online conferences and the corresponding demand for specialized interpretation services.
In today's interconnected world, communication barriers can be a major hindrance, especially when it comes to international business dealings. Interpreting services have emerged as the go-to solution, breaking down language barriers and ensuring clients, partners, and end users can communicate effectively.
Whether it's the healthcare, finance, entertainment, travel, government services, insurance, training, or consultation industries, interpreters are the silent superheroes helping people from different parts of the world communicate on an equal footing.
With the pandemic-fueled rise of remote work, the demand for remote interpreting services has skyrocketed. As businesses migrate from face-to-face meetings to eConferencing platforms, the need for eConference interpreting has become more crucial than ever.
Work-from-Home Wave
According to a survey conducted by Enterprise Technology Research (ETR) on approximately 1,200 chief information officers (CIOs) from around the world, the permanent global remote workforce is expected to double in 2021[2].
While remote work can pose a communication challenge, eConferencing platforms have now become the norm, bringing businesses and industry leaders together even in times of social distancing.
eConference Interpreting: Making It Global
As the world grapples with the pandemic, remote interpreting has become the perfect language solution for businesses. eConference interpreting enables organizations, regardless of size, to connect with their multilingual audiences, allowing everyone to fully participate in the conference, irrespective of their language. However, selecting the right eConference interpreting provider is crucial to the success of your event.
Choosing the Right Provider
- Professional Interpreters: Look for providers offering interpreters with specialized education and training in various fields.
- Top-Notch Equipment: The quality of eConference interpreting equipment is vital to the overall success of your event. Some platforms are specially designed for remote simultaneous interpreting (RSI).
- Experience and Flexibility: Select a provider with experience in handling eConferences and eConferences-related events, ensuring they understand the dynamics of remote interpretation.
- Quality Assurance and Confidentiality: Seek providers with robust quality assurance processes to guarantee accuracy and precision in interpretation, while maintaining confidentiality and security protocols for sensitive information.
- Cultural Fluency: It's important to choose a provider with linguists who possess cultural intelligence to convey nuanced messages accurately.
- Preparation and Support: Ensure the provider offers materials and support for interpreters beforehand, such as speaker bios, presentation slides, and glossaries of industry-specific terms.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the services offered and choose a provider that offers flexible pricing to suit your budget.
