If you are a company whose main focus is the providing of translation and localization services to your end clients you can benefit from new perspectives and expertise Woodpark offers to grow your company. Many companies find it difficult to transition to the next level of business – be it size or service offerings – due a lack of internal resources with the necessary knowledge or simply the bandwidth to redirect resources away from managing current work to tackle strategic initiatives. Engaging a consultant can bring an outside perspective and give you the additional resources to carry through major initiatives to improve your business.

Operations Optimization

Woodpark can help you improve your current operations by giving you insight into industry best practices based on our extensive experience. We begin by discussing your business goals and learning your current processes and practices and how they relate to your clients’ needs.  Then we perform gap analysis, to identify where your organization may be falling short. We prepare a report identifying opportunities for improvement and recommending solutions covering process, staffing, technology, vendors, and training. You can use this roadmap to implement yourself or with our help.

Technology Selection

Woodpark can help you sort through the conflicting claims of various technology offerings by giving objective advice as to which technologies will fit your needs the best. We know all the major commercial systems in-depth and can help you see through the marketing to identify systems to manage your specific client needs and production methodologies. Likewise we can assist you if you choose to develop your own internal tools by developing specifications and prototypes. We can also help you formulate an overall technology roadmap for future growth and to unify your disparate technologies into a single platform.

Technology Implementation

Once you select your technologies you need to integrate them into your organization. This sounds easy but is the stage where many companies fail to achieve the efficiencies promised by technology. This is because business owners often do not recognize the effort required to successfully change the fundamental operations of their company. Woodpark helps you go beyond basic system training to develop best practices, configuring systems to meet your needs and to optimize your operations by coordinating the efforts of your multiple stakeholders.

Risk Mitigation

Do your clients need you as a vendor to be compliant with security requirements such as PII handling, HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, FINRA, ISO 27001, SSAE and other regulations affecting the use of 3rd party providers? Woodpark can help you define and implement the technologies and practices needed to meet these demands.

Team Building and Training

Do you need help expanding your team or in improving their skills? Woodpark can use industry contacts to help you recruit new team members to fill critical vacancies and skill-sets. We can help you screen applicants, conduct interviews and negotiate contracts, as needed. For your existing staff we can help in skills acquisitions through on-line and in-person training as well as identifying training resources appropriate to your needs.
