Sansan Announces Enhanced Multilingual Capabilities on its Platform

SINGAPORE, 12 April 2016 – Sansan, Japan’s leading provider of cloud-based business card management services, today announced an enhancement to its platform supporting transcription of contact information from business cards in Japanese and Chinese to English. This new enhancement is available on Sansan’s mobile and desktop application enabling users to define their language selection to transcribe the content from their business cards.

Singapore presents itself as the the most business-friendly economy in the world and continues to hold on to its decade long position, according to the recent World Bank’s ranking. Serving as a gateway for businesses across the region to expand their operations here and interact with organisations from diverse backgrounds and language preferences. This mix creates opportunities for business networking amongst potential groups looking to grow their business in Singapore.

“We are excited to announce the new enhancement to the Sansan’s platform that supports multilingual translations of business card information from English and Chinese to Japanese. This development comes after many of our clients in Singapore requested for support on multi-language capability as they interact and work with clients from diverse backgrounds and receive business cards in their regional language. Hence, developing a system that coverts business card contents in other languages to English helps breaks the language barrier and enables teams to communicate and collaborate with these prospects and explore a business potential,” said Chika Terada, founder and CEO of Sansan. “The enhancement is also a token of our commitment to listen and be responsive to our clients’ needs, aligning with their interests in the region and to ensure they are in a position to grasp as many opportunities as possible and maximise their business growth.”

Sansan platform also allows businesses to easily integrate their business card data onto their existing CRM tools and other services for a complete enterprise solution using the Open API system. Sansan’s Open API allows users to connect the data garnered from Sansan’s platform into other business InfoCom Technology services, including Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Sales Force.
