Seize the Opportunities - Avoid the Pitfalls

Growth by Design
Europe often serves as the primary international market for U.S. IT companies. For successful firms, around 30% of their global revenue comes from this region. Achieving comparable revenue growth within the U.S. is more challenging because of stiffer competition and a more crowded market. Meanwhile, Europe shows lesser digital maturity and untapped customer segments.
Avoid Common Pitfalls
  • Insufficient international management expertise and resources
  • Unawareness of cultural and regulatory differences
  • Inefficiencies caused by poor location choices
  • Difficulties in hiring and managing of local personnel
  • Inadequate preparation leading to poor timing
