Technology consulting
“Technology is the driving force behind the evolution of the language services industry. LSPs are being asked to do more with less, and until we perfect our translator cloning process, the only way to do this is through technology and automation.” – The General Theory of the Translation Company.
Here are just some of the areas in which Nimdzi Insights can assist you with your technology needs:
-
RFP outsourcing for TMS selection
RFPs typically run for months and can easily cost enterprises tens of thousands of dollars in salaried employees’ time. Furthermore, the cost of TMS ownership can range from USD 5,000 with average deal size typically ranging from USD 25,000 to USD 250,000. More expensive solutions are not necessarily future-proof. We can cut your RFP time in half by providing up-to-date comparisons, and help your company save around half a million dollars over 5-7 years by finding the best-fit solution for your particular use cases.
-
Tech stack strategy
Nimdzi can run an audit and propose a localization tech stack taking into consideration the roadmaps of tech developers and technology trends.

Benchmarking & SWOT analysis for LSP TMS

Short-term consulting packages
Market research analysts and consultants like us act as accelerators for your plans. They should show you what you would otherwise have missed, they should challenge your enthusiasm with a reality check, and they should present you with areas of opportunity that you may not have considered.
A good consultant will quickly work themselves out of a job. We have learned from our partners that within three to six months, they have acquired most of the knowledge that you need to be successful towards their goals.
Longer-term consulting packages
There is certainly a time and place for short term consulting engagements, but often more is needed. That is why we offer a standard three-month package that lets us work with our clients over time to intimately understand their challenges. Over this longer time period, we can set goals, monitor progress, and adjust course as needed.
The formula we have found to work best is what we call the Upswing Consulting Program: Three visits, each lasting three days, over the course of three months. Having a month between visits means that each session ends with practical action items and measurable goal-setting to be followed up on during the next visit. Though each consulting project is customized to meet the unique needs of each client, an example agenda for such an engagement is below.
Pre-engagement:
Remote kick-off calls to define goals and set expectations. Preparation is key, and we will do the footwork before meeting in person to make sure we get the most out of our onsite meetings.
