The cApStAn spirit

The client's requirements and aims are central in our work progress and, when a problem arises, we seek a solution to the problem before establishing who may be responsible for the problem. Day after day, we demonstrate that it is possible and beneficial to place human relationships on a par with contract specifications.

"Cultivating excellence among friends" is our motto. cApStAn's core team consists of 10 lively characters with strong personalities - all of them were cApStAn verifiers before they became project managers or in-house reviewers.

cApStAn's extended team is a motley crowd: over 80 dedicated professionals from a variety of backgrounds, all with higher education, advanced knowledge of their mother tongue plus expertise in a given field. In our view, global does not mean uniformity but commensurability throughout a great variety of different cultures.

We try to bring together the entire team every time a larger project is launched: to exchange experiences, to reinforce our conceptual framework for linguistic quality control, and to foster its application.

cApStAn does not accept inequalities in the market value of different language combinations: the remuneration of verifiers is based on word counts and, depending on the assignment description, a fixed rate per word is agreed: this rate is the same for all languages. A popular side-effect of this egalitarian policy is that clients find our budgets straightforward and uncomplicated.

We are thorough in preparation and flexible in execution. Each member of the team contributes to our reputation: we place excellence higher than effort and regard excuses as an expression of failure.
