Therefore, we are indeed open during this time and our translation turnaround times and delivery estimations remain unchanged!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ACSTraduction decided to implement remote working earlier on to get ahead of the inevitable confinement measures that would be announced by the President. Since Monday, 16 March at 9 a.m., all of our team at ACS was ready to implement the government recommendations while keeping our doors open for business.<\/p>\n<p>Out of 9 employees and 3 interns working at ACSTraduction, 10 are currently working remotely. Melanie, translator and proof-reader, Jonathan, web developer, and Anke, founder and director of ACS, are the only people who are working on site, <u>and getting there by their own means of transport<\/u> (bike, car) in order to ensure that tasks that require in-person attention are taken care of, such as:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"liste\">\n<li>Printing translated documents<\/li>\n<li>Applying the required stamps in order to validate certified translations<\/li>\n<li>Sending mail<\/li>\n<li>Coordination and resolution of potential technical problems in order to maintain remote working, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><em>Programmes that help us with remote translation<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>This way of working, that our agency is working with for the first time, requires a certain organisation that is a bit different, but computer programmes allow us to work and translate as though we were (almost) in the office:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"liste\">\n<li>Using an instant messenger<\/li>\n<li>Using an online office (being able to work a shift remotely from other computers)<\/li>\n<li>A voice server to facilitate communication<\/li>\n<li>Google Drive for our schedules, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With all of that, anything is possible. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acs-traduction.com\/devis\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">quotation request<\/a> procedures remain unchanged, the translations to be completed are then put into a special folder on our server labelled \u201cremote working\u201d, then, once the translations are done, they are taken from this folder and then printed, stamped, and sent. In reality, this does not change the day-to-day of our employees.<\/p>\n<h3><em>According to Daphn\u00e9, professional project manager:<\/em><\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acs-traduction.com\/img\/portrait\/daphne.jpg\" alt=\"Daphn\u00e9, professional project manager:\" class=\"description\"\/>\u201c <em>Since last week, I\u2019ve been waking up a bit later to get to the office, seeing as I no longer need to take the bus to get there!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I\u2019m lucky that I have a separate room to work in. To make light of this in the mornings, I loudly declare \u201cthe office is open!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And then I go into the room and begin my day. And really, nothing has changed, from my computer, I can connect to my office computer, the same screen background, same programmes. Don\u2019t ask me how because I still don\u2019t know how it works!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>But it really is my office computer that I have in front of me.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This way, I can manage my projects the same way I was managing them a week ago. My work phone has also been transferred. So now I can even answer calls. There aren\u2019t as many as usual at the moment, as I\u2019m sure our clients are trying to get themselves organised as well. I\u2019m sure that a few days from now the phone will be ringing off the hook. I\u2019m remaining positive and am dealing with customers even more quickly, in an even more responsive manner, so that my clients are satisfied and reassured\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Like Daphn\u00e9, all the team at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acs-traduction.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ACSTraduction<\/a> are remaining optimistic and are staying positive.
