THE CORUM GLOBAL REACH

As software and IT companies compete in the global market, any serious effort to find a suitable partner must include careful consideration of foreign companies. Business leaders know how difficult it is to build a customer base and distribution channel in a foreign country and are willing to pay a premium for international expansion. Recognizing this simple business reality, Corum has led the industry in developing a true worldwide presence. Corum has built an international research center in Zurich, Switzerland and has offices in the key European market centers, along with its regional directorships across the U.S. and Canada. In addition, Corum holds regular conferences internationally, on average every 90 days, speaks regularly at industry functions, publishes international newsletters and research, and has developed alliances with many foreign technical organizations, trade associations and publications.

The end result of this vision: an unprecedented 40 percent of Corum's transactions involve a cross-border buyer or seller.
