Caldwell Investment Management is a prominent Canadian firm specialising in a range of investment solutions for both individual and institutional investors. Headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Caldwell has built a strong reputation and requires fast, accurate document translation that matches its successful track record.
Their Challenges
Prior to engaging Alexa Translations, Caldwell faced significant operational hurdles regarding the translation of their regulatory and offering documents. Their specific pain points included:
- External Vendor Fragmentation: Caldwell relied on external auditors for the French translation of regulatory documents (such as MRFPs and Financial Statements) and external legal counsel for offering documents (such as Prospectuses, AIFs, and Fund Facts). Coordinating these multiple external partners was difficult and inefficient.
- Inconsistency and Quality Issues: Sourcing translations from different providers led to a lack of consistency across documents. This resulted in "endless revisions" and inconsistencies between different sources.
- High Costs: The fragmented approach was extremely expensive, leading to increased departmental costs that negatively impacted the business.
- Delays and Stress: Coordinating multiple vendors caused time delays, causing the firm to struggle with project timelines and resulting in missed deadlines.
How We Solved Them
Alexa Translations implemented a comprehensive, single-vendor strategy to resolve these issues:
- Centralised Expertise: Alexa Translations was appointed as the sole vendor for all document translations, including MRFPs, financial statements, prospectuses, AIFs, and fund facts.
- Intelligent Technology: We built a Translation Memory based on precedent documents. Our A.I. platform learned from Caldwell’s specific documentation to ensure all future translations remained accurate and consistent.
- Agile Workflow: A dedicated team comprising Project Management and Linguistics experts developed an agile workback schedule. This aligned the Alexa Translations team with Caldwell’s internal team and their external partners, ensuring rapid responses to last-minute changes.
- Cost Visibility: improved reporting provided the Caldwell management team with clear visibility on costs, offering peace of mind regarding the return on their investment.
