Services with Everything : The ICT Enabled Digital Transformation of Services

The Algorithmic Revolution 

-With the algorithmic revolution services can be transformed into normalizable , classifiable, computable processes with clearly defined rules for their execution .

-Existing activities , when converted into computable processes often take on new purposes and create new forms of value.

Repositioning Services to Avoid Commoditization

-Many products face intense price competition firms services as the solution to creating defensible positions in markets.They use them in a variety of ways.

-Some firms go further, shifting their core business from selling products towards offering services often delivered via ICT networks.

Blurring the Boundaries Between Manufacturing and Services

- In the current era manufacturing itself is offered as a service.

-Firms such an apple and Amazon design their iPhones and kindle electronic readers devices, but manufacture them on OEM (original equipment manufacturing) basis.

The Services Spectrum 

- Irreducible Services

- Hybrid Services

-Automated Services

We have argued that a fundamental transformation of services is underway in our era and making the life more comfortable and easy for travel and find things that likes us.


 

Translation and Technology

There are three principal problems to focus in the technology and translation tools relation:

1- Any tool that doesn't account for the special features of individual languages it purports to support is doomed to fail sooner rather than lather.

2-Translation tools need to begin to accommodate the specific needs of particular language communities beyond compiling lists of non-translatable and special segmentation rules.

3-Transaltion tools are great at identifying matches on the sentence level . relatively good at finding concordances, and absolutely abysmal at coming up with good suggestions at the sub- sentence level, let alone morphological level.

We can conclude that the use of ICT by freelance translators is a timely and relevant subject of inquiry , given the high proportion of the translator community working on a freelance basis , and given the growing array of software applications , the purpose of both is a specific translation, available for their use.
