The effectiveness of Trados or other MT software is entirely dependent on the quality of the glossaries and translation memories. Both of these are built up over time, the bigger and better (and more specific) they are, the less the translator has to be involved. If independent, having their own glossaries and TMs boost their efficiency and productivity. If they are working on the 20%, improving the company TMs is, in the short term, eating their own profit. In the long term, they are training their own replacement.
