A soft market in one country or region is not indicative of a global epidemic.Around the world, installed bases, adoption rates and overall technical proficiency can vary greatly.These differences mean that a product reaching the end of its innovative lifecycle in one mature market may be ready to take hold in another as the local infrastructure stabilizes and business practices evolveInformation Technology (IT) companies must be able to forecast and quickly respond to these shifting adoption patterns in order to maximize the return on their research and development investment.<0}
Unfortunately, the pace of innovation and adoption continues to accelerate, meaning the competitive lifespan of a breakthrough product is substantially shorter than it was just five years ago.In the past, developers could focus solely on their home-country version and then, once completed, begin creating international editions to complement their domestic salesIn today's hyper-competitive market, however, staged releases are no longer economically viable.IT companies must now look to conduct simultaneous global launches of their products or risk more nimble, in-country competitors capturing their space with a similarly designed solution
The challenge is that many potential buyers are located in other countries, with different linguistic and technical requirements.Overcoming these barriers is fundamental to the rapid penetration, deployment and implemtation of new products.Unfortunately, most companies lack the breadth and capacity of linguistic skills required to cover each target market and, in general, cannot spare the engineering talent required to simultaneously creat multilingual editions of their products, as the team must remain focused on refining and enhancing the core offering.
