Global Investment Bank Cuts Costs and Saves Time with AI-Translation

A leading global investment bank’s traditional approach to translation was creating a bottleneck in its operations. The existing system struggled to keep pace with the demands from multiple divisions, including investment banking, wealth management, and equity research.

Global Investment Bank

Challenges Faced

The investment bank relied on a combination of on-site linguists and vendors to provide rapid, accurate translations. As such, their ability to operate efficiently in global markets was being severely impacted.

Translation requests flowed through multiple content systems and vendors, creating a complex web of workflows that slowed down critical communications and caused inconsistencies in terminology.

High-volume departments, like equity research and marketing, were experiencing significant delays in getting time-sensitive materials to global markets, potentially impacting business opportunities.

Valuable internal resources were being consumed by manual translation processes, taking focus away from strategic work that could drive business growth.

The Journey Begins

The bank's leadership recognized that they needed more than just a new translation tool — they needed a complete reimagining of how their global communications could work.

We began our partnership with the bank by asking: "What if we could harness the power of AI to transform translation from a business bottleneck into a competitive advantage?" And that is what we set out to do.

 

 

Strategic Approach

Working closely with stakeholders across all divisions, we designed a comprehensive AI-driven translation solution that would revolutionize their global communications:

 

We implemented a sophisticated machine translation platform that could handle over 500 million words annually and made it accessible to more than 5,000 users across the organization.

 

We custom-trained AI models to understand the bank's specific terminology and compliance requirements, ensuring accurate translations across specialized areas like investment banking and equity research.

 

We integrated our technology directly into their content management systems to create seamless workflows capable of intelligently routing content between machine translation and human post-editing as needed.
