The leader in ‘Secure Networks that flow’: Stratus Video Interpreting

“When You Want To Succeed As Bad As You Want To Breathe, Then You’ll Be Successful.” – Eric Thomas

Having recognized the need for better communications between cultures and languages, particularly in specific markets, such as healthcare and the courts, where a lack of understanding can create significant problems for people, Stratus Video Interpreting was set up in 2011 to attend to the needs of those who use technology in their daily business lives.

Its cloud based video teleconferencing technology is fully interoperable with all existing systems including Polycom, Lifesize and Cisco-Tandberg and can utilize all mobile platforms including PC/Mac iPad, iPhones and Android devices.

Hundreds of businesses and agencies as well as major Healthcare facilities deploy its technology that is based on the concept originally applied at ZVRS, the video relay interpretation service for the deaf and hard of hearing. Today, Stratus’ technology-based approach enables full interoperability and mobile connectivity for interpretation on smart devices such as PCs, Macs, Androids, iPhones and tablets.

With specialties that include Video Remote Interpretation, Language access solutions, Interpretation, Spanish, Healthcare, Government, American Sign Language, the Florida based company provides clear private video communication in multiple verticals including healthcare, government and Fortune 1000 companies.

Implement easy to use and customizable solutions
Trusted by individuals and corporations large and small, Stratus is a language access company that provides interpreters over video, audio, and in-person. For years, its innovative application-based approach is changing the way interpretation is delivered. Stratus’s core market lies in the customers’ everyday businesses. This not only helps the customers’ businesses to grow exponentially, but also helps them save time and money.

Stratus’s Solutions include:

• Stratus Audio
  With the one device integration facility, Stratus Audio calling can be added to the Stratus Video application, meaning that one only needs a single device to place audio and video calls. There is no need for an additional analog phone line. When a call is placed to Stratus Audio, a bilingual concierge will answer in 6 seconds or less and assist the user to determine in which language assistance is required, and will not begin billing until the actual interpretation begins.
• Stratus Video
  Making it possible to reach a qualified interpreter in 30 seconds or less, 24x7x365, the Stratus Video application can be loaded onto any Tablet, Smartphone, Desktop or Laptop, and our interpreters can be reached over WiFi or 4G. With the highest video call volume, onsite video call centers and complete ADA compliance.
• Stratus Mobile
  Stratus Mobile is a video remote interpretation product with built in encryption that is ideal for remote offices, clinics, and traveling nurses. With Stratus Mobile, private, HIPAA compliant calls can be made over public wifi and 4G connections, making it an ideal solution for remote offices, clinics, and traveling nurses. Stratus Mobile functions just like the Stratus Video product. All of the encryption happens on the back-end so that all the provider has to do is push one button to connect. All of our interpreters are held to the same high standards, and service is available 24 hours a day.
