CSOFT’s Scalable, Terminology-Driven Solutions

This importance becomes even more evident when these communications play a vital role in the coordination and collaboration among international agencies and governing bodies across borders. CSOFT’s terminology and glossary management best practices enable government agencies and international organizations to publish all their multilingual term glossaries across subject matter areas, from WTO data to healthcare law, United Nations agency policies, and European Union regulations.

Demonstrated Solutions
Large-scale United Nations survey project for improved market analysis and consumer insight
When governments and organizations collaborate across borders, effective communication, on-the-ground coordination, and intercultural competence are critical to success. CSOFT supported a major UN development organization and a Chinese ministry in segmenting the market for a life-altering class of clean technology products across multiple regions in China. The ability to navigate different cultural norms and communication styles was a decisive factor in facilitating work between this diverse group of stakeholders.
A large-scale survey was held across six representative provinces, engaging thousands of households in the largest study of its kind in the past 40 years. Gathering further data from field visits, focus groups, and in-depth research, CSOFT’s team helped develop a set of insightful user profiles, assessing segment-specific willingness to pay for the product in question. These insights will be informative to product and business model innovation that the development organization and Chinese ministry will use to establish core messages, policies, and subsidy packages to promote adoption of the products in millions of homes throughout China.
Documenting a worldwide beneficiary management system to facilitate global hunger relief
With operations serving millions of beneficiaries and stakeholders across a diverse network of country offices, a leading intergovernmental agency overseeing the world’s largest food aid program needed a means of scaling its internal service support resources through effective documentation of its systems and processes.
Identifying the opportunity to employ a flexible, single-source solution to target multiple user roles, distribution modalities, and conditional workflows, CSOFT’s consultants worked with the organization’s technical experts and product development teams to build an interactive online portal that can be continuously updated to reflect changing programmatic objectives and ongoing agile product development.
