That's an excellent question.
We work in partnership with the translation bureau at every stage of developing the transformation of simultaneous interpretation. We did this during the pandemic, which led to remote interpretation, among other things. It was the first mandatory innovation based on the context we had to work with.
In the current context, it's really a question of space. The building's layout presents a certain challenge that is forcing us to move in this direction. Technology has developed enough that we can make this change while also offering a similar experience. We will potentially offer a better ergonomic environment for interpreters, a centralized environment with modern facilities that will meet the needs for the next 40 or 50 years.
It's a bit different for the control room. Right now, there is convergence in the industry. The industry used to be very traditional in terms of audiovisual technology and television. Now, there is real convergence in terms of technology. I am thinking about IP technology in particular, which is evolving. It is also a question of costs. This is a real opportunity to look at the economies of scale we can achieve so that we can offer the same level of quality.
A few years ago, we held committee meetings via audio. Now, all committee meetings are held via video. The quality of webcasting is increasingly approaching that of television production. Television production is more expensive and requires more staff. It's different in terms of technology, but thanks to technological advances, the quality is nearly the same.
We are moving in this direction to offer better services, while remaining mindful of resources and quality requirements.
