Corporate Philosophy

We believe in integrity. The “Dog” in our name is a symbol of integrity. Albert Einstein once said “Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.” We take this to heart.

We believe in passion for one’s work as key to excellence. This is represented by “Red” in our corporate name. It is passion that drives hard work and makes the impossible possible.

“Planet” is a symbol of community and our physical environment. As single creatures on our planet, we look to respect all peoples of Earth and to do our part in contributing to society and the natural environment.

In all of our business dealings, we think integrity is paramount, passion is dear, and doing our part for the betterment of society and the natural environment is critical.

Message from the CEO/President

We launched the current interpreter reservation platform RDP-01 in 2014. Its purpose was to provide a tool to facilitate administration of interpreter arrangements and interpreter schedules. The platform is a private network allowing for direct communication between client and interpreter. Thanks to much support, top-tier investment banks and interpreters became clients and users.

But this was only the beginning as we came to the realization that the full potential of our platform could only be had with the participation of the full spectrum of clients. The IR realm alone was inadequate. This was, furthermore, not a problem we could solve on our own. And so we hope to work with the industry as a whole for a win-win solution. Our motto, after all, is to create new value.

We are currently developing a new version of the platform called RDP Bingo. It is scheduled for release in November and will incorporate much of the improvements suggested to us by our clients and interpreters. We hope the new platform will be able to contribute to a better working environment for all.
