Industry Providers Webinar: "The Tech-Savvy LSP"

Date 9/21/2010 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Speakers Ben Sargent, Common Sense Advisory

The webinar will be held at 11:00 a.m. EST / 8:00 a.m. PST / -5 GMT

This webinar is reserved for clients only. Invitation to register will be sent two weeks prior to the event.

Language service providers (LSPs) purchase commercial software, embrace open source platforms, or develop custom applications to improve service delivery, gain a competitive advantage, and increase their profit margin. Technology adoption promises both efficiency and growth for service companies of all sizes, but such investments also entails business risk from capital expense, service disruption, and the imposed service limitations – sometimes unexpected – inherent in new technologies. Come join us and learn what it takes to become a "Tech-Savvy LSP."
