In 1991, Edward Vick established EVS Translations, a company that offers language services. The business helps multinational corporations, SMEs, and governmental organisations manage the need for multilingual digital content and information. It works throughout Europe and the USA. It consistently ranks among the top 100 LSPs in the world for localization and among the top 20 LSPs overall for the finance industry. Edward’s family resides in Germany, despite the fact that he was raised in Canada and the UK. He enjoys reading quality books and collecting art.
The history of EVS Translations began in 1991 when Edward Vick, a native of the UK, established a translation company in Offenbach am Main, Germany, specialising in the finance industry. Over time, EVS Translations broadened the scope of its offerings, added more clients, and developed into a global provider of linguistic services. It quickly became apparent that the manually maintained lists would not be sufficient to satisfy the new requirements. EVS Translations required a system that excels both on the German market and globally to manage the expanding customer base.
“When we started at the beginning of the 1990s, we carried out our management processes manually. Once the company started to grow and digitalization increased, there were a need and a market for a system that helps to effectively organize business processes across multiple locations.”- Edward Vick
The Solution
EVS Translations chose Plunet after doing a lot of study. The ability to standardise individual project phases across many sites, the ability to store all pertinent project data centrally, and the ability to use reporting features to identify key performance indicators (KPIs) were the three decisive reasons.
Centralization for better participation
EVS Translations now has a consolidated digital repository for project and client data thanks to Plunet BusinessManager. All project participants (sales, project management, accounting, and senior management) can then access the necessary data in accordance with their responsibilities and system rights. Because of the centralization, the many offices collaborate more closely as a unit, which also makes it simpler to locate vendors. Above all, this makes it possible for everyone to be integrated better. Since 2009, this advantage has contributed to a 24 percent annual growth in revenue from current customers.
EVS Translations intends to expand its management system after making successful adjustments to their company procedures. The modular solution from Plunet allows for flexible individual adaptations. This specifically entails a tighter integration of the accounting software DATEV and SAGE for EVS Translations.
