1. I envision that we will continue to use translation companies for our projects. Would you (as linguists) accept jobs from translation companies in which the end client has their own tool? Would that be considered a negative or a positive thing in your opinion? Also, please explain why you feel this way.
2. Which tools/software are considered the best? What at are positive aspects of each?
3. How is tech support for the tools?
4. Is there a compelling reason why my company should not invest in such a tool?

In the general law on hire for work, the worker is expected to have his or her sophisticated tools. I support this idea.

It depends on the objective of the respective job.
3. How is tech support for the tools?
Most tool suppliers support very well.
4. Is there a compelling reason why my company should not invest in such a tool?
They do not have staffs smart enough to master those tools excellently.
