ARUP Case Study

How Word360 helped

We quickly realised the scale of the task presented by ARUP and the potential for problematic outcomes. With this in mind, we began by conducting an needs evaluation for the client, to understand the details of the project more thoroughly.

This evaluation then informed our solution, which was centred around the intelligent usage of linguists with specialised skill sets. We realised that ARUP did not in fact need to translate their three documents in their entirety, rather just specific parts. We then proposed this alternative solution to the client, who was delighted.

In order to understand which part needed translating and to then translate them, an Estonian linguist with legal and engineering knowledge would be required.

We drew on our extensive roster of linguists and found the perfect candidate. This linguist then spent a week on-site with ARUP in London translating specific sections of the document in real-time.

The Results

Not only did our proposed, needs-based solution mean that ARUP was able to proceed on time using their translated documents, we achieved significant cost efficiencies that we passed on to the client. 

Through our solution, ARUP was able to save £157,000 against their original request for our support. 

All the information the client needed was translated as and when they needed it, on-site and with the additional benefit of sector-specific and legal expertise.
