WALTHAM, Mass., May 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIOX), today announced Kemper Corporation has selected Lionbridge GeoFluent as its Omnichannel, Omnilingual customer care solution. With GeoFluent, Kemper is able to eliminate customer language barriers across all channels by providing contact center agents with real-time translation via voice, virtual and agent-assisted multilingual chat, email, mobile, social, SMS and more.

Within the first month of implementing GeoFluent, Kemper engaged with customers in 44 different languages including Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Korean, Arabic, Russian, Armenian and Cantonese. As a result, Kemper is delivering high-quality, consistent customer engagement across languages and channels without having to hire native speakers or build new in-country contact centers.

"With GeoFluent, we're now able to target not only a broader audience, but also streamline communications and ensure that every customer has a quality experience, regardless of his or her language or ethnicity."

Language differences can present challenges for companies to provide customer care as they expand markets and address growing language diversity.  By using Lionbridge services, Kemper addresses these challenges and is now able to communicate seamlessly with its customers in more than 300 languages while minimizing global support costs.  

"Our relationship with Kemper demonstrates our commitment to delivering innovative translation solutions that create a superior customer experience across languages, channels and platforms," said Marc Osofsky, Senior Vice President and General Manager at Lionbridge.
