San Francisco, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/07/2016 --Market research firm Common Sense Advisory provides on-going research and advice for buyers and sellers of language services. In a recent report, they take a behind-the-scenes look at solution development, timeline calculations, and pricing. They specifically note two recurring themes: 1) the increasing price pressure caused by clients driving the race to the bottom; and 2) the drastic reduction in timelines to conduct projects.

Their report, "How LSPs Quote Projects," stated that retail translation management systems (TMS) are the most advanced e-commerce platforms. Retail TMSes differ from online storefronts in that they are either part of or connect to a TMS. They are accessible for instant quotes using standard pricing. They also enable LSPs to customize price lists and provide login credentials to repeat customers.

Elanex's expressIt is used to illustrate an example of a Retail TMS platform. expressIt is a 24/7 self-serve high-quality professional human translation service. expressIt provides all the depth, nuance, and quality of the world's best human translators, delivered with unprecedented speed from their powerful automation technology.

"We have responded to client demand for faster turnaround and competitive pricing while maintaining professional quality translation with our expressIt technology," noted Elanex CTO Serguei Komarov. "expressIt uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to emulate the decision making of a skilled project manager and provides 100% automation for pricing, practitioner selection and assignment, file management, and delivery of routine and urgent translation requests," he continued.
