An Introduction to IMGR for Clients
What is IMGR/Interpreter Manager?
    IMGR is a unique on-line service which combines the power of the internet and the widespread use of mobile phones to provide a fully automated interpreter recruitment and administration service, to the benefit of both interpreters and the organisations requiring interpreters in the UK.


The concept
    Those who work in the field of professional interpreting in the UK are well aware of the inadequacies of current services, which are still generally paper-based, cumbersome, expensive to run and do not offer a fair distribution of assignments to the available pool of interpreters.

    The IMGR service is an internet-based system which accepts assignments from registered organisations, automatically finds the ideal interpreters on a random selection basis (based on the criteria of each organisation), and contacts them via text messages to their mobile phone. The interpreters who respond are then listed as available and the client then assigns one of them. That interpreter is then contacted by text message (and e-mail) confirming that they have been awarded the assignment.

    One of the main advantages of this is the convenience for the client. The client can at any time (even in the middle of the night) line up any number of interpreters just by completing a quick form on the internet for each assignment. They can then return hours later and assign an interpreter to each assignment with a single click. Not a single phone call is required.
    For the interpreters it is also convenient. They receive text messages (between 8am and 10pm) offering assignments, and need only answer those they are interested it, as and when they want to.

    Both organisations and interpreters have accounts on IMGR.
    An organisation can track (live) the progress of all assignments on a single screen and check the details of each one.
    The interpreters can also track the status of all assignments offered and review the details of each one.

    Upon completion of the assignment, the client (or occasionally the interpreter) will complete the on-line claim form, and the other party is required to approve it (ie both organisation and interpreter agree on the hours and fees) so that it can automatically be processed by the accounts department of that organisation.


The cost benefit
    The obvious advantage is that the IMGR service is very cost-effective. The individual operators in the organisation will be able to recruit with less effort, as and when it is convenient to them.

    Interpreters will for the first time be able to monitor their own assignments, and be contacted when they want to be contacted.

    The automation of the Claim Form process provides substantial savings for the organisation, specially since both parties have access to the status of each Claim Form and both parties can process them on line.

Who can use IMGR?
    Clients needing interpreters include Legal Services, Social Services, solicitors, doctors, tourists, companies etc - a wide range of organisations can be serviced as IMGR is faster, fairer, cheaper and more efficient than traditional ways of obtaining an interpreter.
