DRAGOMAN TRIO TAKES THE STAGE

'ICT Summit', whose main theme was, 'Rediscover your Business!', took place at TÜYAP Beylikdüzü Fair, Convention and Congress Centre, concurrent with CeBIT Bilisim Eurasia, between October 7-11, 2008.  One of the product and service sponsors, Dragoman took center stage when presenting its energetic trio of Translations, Information Technologies, and Education.  With Dragoman's triple strategy fully transcending all requirements of institutions, companies, and organizations, Ümit Özaydin, Dragoman's Operations Manager, summarized his views on the summit:

"The ICT sector has expanded anywhere from 20% to 25% in the last five years while growth in the global economy has remained at 4%.  We've taken a major step forward in sponsoring one of the most substantial meetings of such a fast-growing sector, and we are really proud of our decision to do this.   The main theme of the summit was 'Rediscover Your Business', and that's exactly what we plan to do.  In other words, we intend to go beyond the translation sector by also offering services in language technologies and in education.

"Our target is two-fold:  'Good Turkish and Good Translations'.  Seventy-five percent of the participants at the fair were from various sectors to include finance, textile, energy, logistics, health, and retail industries – all customers of the information sector.  To be sure, Dragoman possesses expertise in each of these industries.  During the fair, we had the chance to invigorate our relations with existing customers and seize upon new business opportunities as well."

Providing simultaneous interpreting for five days in four booths with eight interpreters during the ICT Summit, Dragoman used state-of-the-art sound systems conforming to ISO standards.  Approximately three thousand participants experienced 'Good Turkish and Good Translations' in more than twenty seminars.  Personally congratulated by both the seminar speakers and participants, Dragoman interpreters were appreciated for their fluency in using technical jargon and for their ability to convey the most complex expressions with clarity. 

Pointing to the fact that Dragoman, together with Turkcell, Türk Telekom, HP, and Akbank, was the first translation company to sponsor the ICT Summit, Ümit Özaydın commented:  "Dragoman has succeeded in taking groundbreaking steps and in making this an uncompromising part of its pioneering corporate culture.  Dragoman is the first translation company in Turkey to gather a translation team for Formula 1 and motorsports; to build Turkey's first and most comprehensive categorical dictionary; to apply EU translation standards; and to receive the World Bank's R&D support through KOSGEB for its language technologies investments."
