We are all living in a radically new reality which we all have to adapt to very quickly. I’d like to share some of the first measures we’ve implemented but also start a dialogue with you – our customers – about what else may be needed and how we can all come together to work through this disruption and minimize the impact on our lives and businesses.

As Memsource is a fully managed cloud-based system, our customers rely on us being operational at all times. And we’ve seen that with many people working from home, Memsource has become a key component of business continuity planning by our customers. As one customer put it: “We are so glad to have implemented Memsource – everyone now works from their home and uses Memsource.”

Our Business Continuity

As soon as the COVID-19 outbreak turned into a pandemic, our number one priority was business continuity. Luckily, with very solid business continuity planning already in place, we were able to implement the following measures quickly:

A New Home Office Policy

Previously, everyone at Memsource could work for up to two days a week from home. Starting from 11 March 2020, we asked our team to only work from home. This measure was motivated by the importance of protecting our team’s health as well as ensuring business continuity. By having our team distributed, the risk of having, e.g. our entire infrastructure team fall sick was minimized. We acted early and implemented the mandatory home office policy one week before the official Czech government recommendation.

Increased Communication

With everyone working remotely and little or no opportunity to interact face to face, we’ve set up more online meetings, both internally at Memsource and with our customers. Below is a list which includes information about all of our upcoming meetings. Feel free to register if you’re a Memsource customer. If you’re new to Memsource, sign up for an account.

We want to make sure that Memsource just works and that it’s one less worry for you, so that you can focus on your localization work. You can follow our uptime on the Memsource Status page.

Tutorials on Innovating with Memsource Using Machine Translation

Machine translation can help you boost efficiency, cut costs, and reach new markets. Over the next few months, we’ll be organizing dedicated online sessions related to machine translation.
