Uncertainty tied to the pandemic produced a roller-coaster of economic changes that undermined even the most reliable statistical forecasting models. For the first time since 2005, CSA Research did not release our 2020 Global Market Sizing numbers when we released the ranking of the largest LSPs in the world. We knew that it would be irresponsible to forecast market trends in the waves of severe uncertainty. Prior to sizing the 2020 market and forecast, we understood that we needed reliable da...

Are you looking to implement AI into your CX process? Or have you started implementation only to realize the challenges? Despite the very real promise of cognitive and conversational agents to improve the customer experience and promote engagement between brands and their customers, the reality is that these advantages today are available to a relatively small percentage of the world’s population.

Join CSA Research for a discussion of current chal...

Virtual events will continue to be the new normal even when face-to-face is an option, so organizations can't afford not to change—and change now. In this upc...

And today, we have to assume that all of that content is likely to be translated - either explicitly, for example because your company has a language strategy and localizes all marketing content for a set of languages or delivers products in multiple countries, or indirectly, because a cust...

The COVID-19 pandemic forced businesses to work-from-home overnight. Some were well-prepared and already allowed everyone in their language supply chain to access their translation management system (TMS) remotely, with no disruption to workflows; for others, it was more challenging, involving other IT tasks such as enabling virtual private network (VPN) access. We have spoken with enterprises at both ends of the spectrum - including those where use of a cloud application was previously problema...
