Bowne Global Solutions and Capgemini Report Reveals Life Sciences Companies 'Drastically Increasing' Need for Translation Services Foreign market growth drives demand for translation; Most companies attempting to handle in-house NEW YORK, May 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Ninety percent of life sciences companies believe their need for translation services will increase during the next five years, and 23% of those companies expect their need to increase drastically, according to a new report produced by Capgemini, one of the world's largest providers of consulting, technology and outsourcing services. This report was produced on behalf of Bowne Global Solutions (BGS), a leading provider of translation, localization, technical publication and interpretation services, to determine global expansion trends in the life sciences sector. It is based upon interviews with executives at pharmaceutical and medical device companies. Among survey respondents, 80% indicated that international markets comprise at least 25% of their total company revenue. This statistic reflects the foreign market growth that has exploded in recent years, driving demand for translation and localization service companies. However, despite the existence of translation firms, 77% of life sciences companies prefer to handle translation duties in-house, citing a desire to retain control of the process. "The desire to retain control of the translation process is understandable, yet pharmaceutical and medical device companies have a responsibility to physicians and patients to ensure that prescribing information, product directions and marketing materials are correct. This requires meticulous translation and a working knowledge of the specific language, country and culture in which the product is launched," said Jim Fagan, President and CEO of BGS. The survey also found that a majority of respondents feel that translation is most critical for regulatory processes (approximately 65%) and marketing support and training (approximately 40%). BGS/Capgemini Report 2-2-2 "The survey findings give us a look at the emerging trends and needs of this important sector," said Ellen Hives, Vice President with Capgemini. "While many companies are now trying to address their translation needs in house, it's not their core competency. Many are quickly realizing that it's more efficient and effective to use experienced language services firms that can provide quality, multilingual translations in-country anywhere in the world using proven project management and production processes and technologies. BGS, one of the most skilled and experienced firms in this space, is already helping pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers navigate complicated regulatory processes that have hindered time-to-market."
