Example Calculation Amortization of Personal Translator Net 20
Higher quality translations in a shorter time – An investment that quickly pays for itself
The LISA report (LISA: The Localization Industry Standards Association) makes a strong case for the use of automatic translation in large companies.
The Case Study results indicate a ROI of 544 % and an amortisation period of 2 months.
According to the Fraunhofer Institute, using Personal Translator Professional results in a time saving of 40%. The following example calculations illustrate what this means in concrete terms:
Example calculation:
| Investment for a Personal Translator Net 20 for 10 employees: | 1.294 € |
| Daily translation effort 15 min.: | 10 employees x 15 min. = 150 min./month |
| Monthly translation effort: | 150 min x 20 days = 50 h/month |
| Time saving according to the survey of the Fraunhofer Institute: | 40 % |
| Monthly time saving: | 20 h |
| Assumed hourly wages: | 35,- € |
| Monthly cost saving: | 700,- € |
| Amortization: | Within 2 months |
A company acquires the basic version of Personal Translator Net 20 for 10 members of staff.
The investment costs are 1.294,- €.
If the 10 members of staff (clerks, managers, secretaries, etc.) are involved with translation of some kind (for example, looking up a word, translating an English webpage into German, or writing an e-mail in German), for an average of 15 minutes each day, then this gives the following monthly savings potential:
10 members of staff * 15 mins * 20 days * 40 % saving = 20 hours
Based on an average hourly rate of 35,- € for each member of staff, this corresponds to a monthly cost saving of
20 hours * 35,- € = 700,- €
This means that the investment will have paid for itself in two months!
