Refined by this collaborative work between two industry leaders, the new online solution enables companies to rapidly and less expensively find the right translators they need, tapping into ProZ.com’s vast network of professional linguists – the world’s largest by far. “As one of the world’s largest and busiest providers of language services, we were able to put ProZ.com’s new platform through the most rigorous six-month trial. It exceeded our expectations,” said Larry Rogers, president of Lexi-tech International. “Thanks to the new platform, we are able to reduce the time it takes to find suitable language professionals by 50%. This innovation will be an indispensable part of our business as well as the entire globalization industry.” The new platform, marketed as ProZ.com Connect!, provides companies like Lexi-tech International with a ready-to-implement sourcing and vendor management solution that is designed to easily integrate within a company’s current workflow. The innovative, patent pending technology also features “need-based sourcing” that provides worldwide, location-based search capabilities and a convenient one-stop dashboard that manages all candidate communications. Dispersed teams can collaborate online, and are able to view, save and manage the best translators for given projects. Users can also enjoy accelerated candidate evaluation with the platform’s comprehensive comparison tools. Rogers continued, “Lexi-tech International built its reputation by providing high-quality, industry specific language professionals, and we follow a rigorous process to test, evaluate and select these people. But wading through piles of CVs (curriculum vitae) and tracking candidates with spreadsheets and emails takes far too long to find the qualified candidates we need – often for urgent assignments. By working closely with ProZ.com, we are pleased to have helped create a platform that solves these long-standing and costly problems.” “We are thankful for the invaluable contributions from our beta program partners like Lexi-tech International,” said Michael Kidd, executive vice president at ProZ.com. “Because of them, ProZ.com Connect! now combines the sheer size of the world’s largest linguist database—with 170,000 registered professionals—with state-of-the-art web interface technology in a way that makes sourcing and managing language professionals much easier and more cost-effective than it has ever been to date.” Availability Companies interested in using ProZ.com Connect! can learn more at http://www.proz.com/connect About ProZ.com With more than 170,000 registered translators and interpreters representing over 400 languages, ProZ.com is by far the world’s leading sourcing and linguist management platform.
