Summary
The Challenge
The company’s Japan subsidiary needed dependable Japanese-English interpretation for its hybrid meetings, held once per quarter. But without their usual video conferencing platform available in the workplace, the company couldn’t rely on a standard remote interpretation setup. Instead:
- Interpreters had to work on-site, positioned in separate rooms for each meeting
- That arrangement created audio issues, including difficulty hearing participants clearly
- Coordinating and running the on-site setup was labor-intensive for the team each time
The company needed a way to deliver reliable Japanese-English interpretation for its hybrid meetings without depending on that video conferencing platform or repeating that on-site logistical burden.

The Solution
Because their usual video conferencing platform wasn’t available in the company’s workplace, the previous approach to interpretation meant interpreters working on-site from separate rooms — a setup that was hard on audio quality and heavy to coordinate. The company’s global IT team selected KUDO to handle interpretation for its quarterly hybrid meetings instead, giving Japanese- and English-speaking participants a way to connect without requiring that platform or repeating that on-site arrangement.
Now, every quarter, the company’s hybrid meetings run with Japanese-English interpretation through KUDO — sparing the team the audio difficulties and setup effort that came with the previous approach.
