RFP
Advisory Services

Improve and streamline the procurement of language services and technology.

 

  • Does your organization sell and support products or services to customers around the world?
  • Are you tasked with making your organization's global content supply chain more efficient?
  • Do you manage the procurement of language services (translation, interpreting) or language management technology (translation or interpreting management systems, machine translation, and MT), voice services such as synthetic voice or transcription, or global content management suppliers?
  • Does your organization struggle to balance the cost of being global with the value of international markets?

If you answered "yes" to any of the above, CSA Research has the data and research to assist in your procurement and decision-making processes.
