Case Study: MCIS Language Solutions
79% RSI Growth YoY
MCIS leveraged RSI technology to expand from large government conferences to shorter, one- to two-hour municipal events.
Shorter Event Bookings
They replaced four-hour minimums for on-site events with quick, flexible sessions, boosting adoption among new clients.
Eliminate Vendor Sprawl
Automated transcription, closed captions, and all-in-one management drastically cut overhead and complexity.
How MCIS Grew RSI by 79% in a Year
In 2020, MCIS Language Solutions, a Toronto-based nonprofit social enterprise, found its traditional on-site conference interpreting business disrupted by pandemic-related shutdowns. Eager to maintain continuity and affordability, MCIS teamed up with Boostlingo Events to pivot to remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI).
THE CHALLENGE
MCIS offered on-site simultaneous interpretation for large-scale government conferences, requiring travel logistics and specialized equipment. When COVID-19 shut down in-person events, MCIS needed a solution that offered the same high-quality interpretation but remotely. They also wanted to serve shorter and smaller events—like municipal meetings and community gatherings—and provide transcripts, recordings, and multiple-language support without breaking the bank.
THE SOLUTION
By partnering with Boostlingo, MCIS transitioned to a fully remote RSI model. The Boostlingo Events platform automated key processes like closed captions, recording, and transcribing, which had previously involved multiple vendors. This all-in-one approach meant MCIS could now accommodate one- to two-hour events with minimal setup time, giving smaller clients an affordable event interpretation option. The platform’s user-friendly interface also helped MCIS onboard new customers quickly, further driving revenue growth.
TESTIMONIAL
“Last month we saw 79 % growth in RSI with existing customers. So we’re excited to see what could happen if we go after some of these newer customers globally.”
