CyraCom Speaks at GALA Conference about the Need for Telephone Interpretation in Europe
London, United Kingdom (PRWEB UK) 10 April 2015 -- Customer satisfaction scores are higher for three-way calls with a language interpreter than with bilingual customer service agents.
CyraCom, an international interpreter company, presented this data from the International Customer Management Institute (ICMI) at the recent Globalization and Localization Association (GALA) conference in Seville, Spain. Many European, customer support operations rely on centralized contact centres where in-house staff are recruited in multiple languages to serve various countries. The ICMI data indicates that for customer service managers, limited availability of staff with language skills is amongst their biggest challenges for multilingual support.
The presentation, given by Ivan Venzin of CyraCom, highlighted the advantages of telephonic interpretation, and explored ways in which telephonic interpretation can complement existing European multilingual customer service programs.
“There is a tipping point in terms of cost effectiveness between phone interpretation and in-house customer service representatives,” said Venzin. “Phone interpretation is paid by the minute without any fixed fees. To hire, train, and monitor agents in multiple languages, it takes significant volume for the cost equation to tilt toward that model.”
CyraCom has been introducing telephone interpreting to organizations across Europe as a solution for supplementing or even replacing multilingual staff. CyraCom’s European offices are in London, UK and Berne, Switzerland.
