Digital can be used, and is already being used, to consolidate our existing offering as a jurisdiction. This is especially true in the field of fintech, where we have a clear opportunity to diversify our economy while also building on our strengths as a leading finance centre, but it extends to every other pillar of our economy too. It’s encouraging that across crucial departments, from the JFSC and Jersey Business to Visit Jersey, the value of digital is acknowledged and the desire to innovate keenly felt. Digital Jersey fully understands that our remit is to make sure that everyone has a digital agenda – and ensure Jersey is receptive and ready for this.
Another key component of Jersey’s future in the digital sphere is our connectivity. The digitised global marketplace means that geography becomes less and less relevant – what matters is connectivity, which we have in abundance with the new fibre rollout and superfast connectivity to all the major off-island hubs. International businesses can operate from Jersey and easily achieve their desired global reach.
Where Jersey’s geographical strength does come in is our proximity to London, which enables close links with the UK, and proactive discussions with Digital Catapult, the UK’s equivalent to Digital Jersey. The UK is obviously much larger as a jurisdiction, which means more resources but also more potential obstacles in implementing innovation. Coming from the UK, I really value the unique possibility we have in Jersey to get all the right people in one room, meaning we can effect joined up change much more quickly and efficiently than in larger jurisdictions.
TRANSLATIONS • SPECIAL FORMATS • INTERPRETING • DTP • CONFERENCING • PRINT
Single source solution for translating arrives in Jersey
We translate, typeset and print to every language : websites, manuals, software, patents, claims, books, etc.
Tongue Tied, launched in 1989 in East Sussex UK, started life offering simple translation services with its first client being American Express. Both face to face and telephone interpreting were added in 1990, followed in later years by typesetting into every known software platform and print, both lithograph and digital.
Tongue Tied can now offer complete conference facilities including sound booths and roving microphones so that it can organise a complete conference anywhere in the world providing both the interpreters and the equipment.
In the late nineties Tongue Tied began franchising it’s business very successfully with Tongue Tied Kent and Tongue Tied Bristol, with the Kent directors retiring a few years later and Tongue Tied Bristol being bought by BAE. Other Franchises were moderately successful and an office was also opened in Ohio, U.S.A. which the company retains. Tongue Tied Manchester is now the most successful of all the franchises joined recently by a new franchise, Tongue Tied South East.
The company has also acquired 50% of UK Tech Trans which specialises in highly technical translations and is a very busy and successful company.
Our latest office and now our home is on Jersey where the company can see a partnership developing between many
Jersey based organisations with international connections and the possibility of translating their website in any language (s) to attract overseas clients.
Tongue Tied has three USP’s when discussing our field of operation - Price, Quality and Delivery. We now have over 50 commendation letters from high profile ‘blue chip’ companies that testify to these qualities and we therefore enjoy a 92% client retention.
Tongue Tied offer a ‘single source solution’ Translation- Typesetting-Print into any language which many of these companies below find unique.
We can’t compete with Silicon Valley in terms of their numbers and range, so we need to get smart and think about the digital areas which apply to Jersey specifically, and focus on doing a select number of things well. We need a data driven approach to clearly identify and prioritise the areas that need investment and support as we take our next steps.
We also need to think what our measurable success criteria are – ultimately, the creation of high value jobs and exportable services are where Jersey’s digital space can really perform.
Of course it’s easy to talk the talk, what’s harder – and worth more – is the delivery. But Jersey, with its strong economy and pool of entrepreneurial and ambitious people, is in a far better position than most to become a globally respected digital hub. There’s no reason at all why we can’t, and every reason why we should.
