Worldwide globalization trend resulted in the practical absence of isolated markets. The result is that on one hand you cannot rely anymore on the lack of competition on a specific territory. That make it harder to grow at the initial stage. On the other hand, from the very beginning you may target not only the local market, but the global one. But localizing the user interface is not enough to make your products global. It is important to understand how people in different countries are going to use your product, how you are going to promote it in different countries, and what kind of competition you will face in each of them. Using specifics of each region it is possible to develop unique strategies for new products development and promotion. In this talk we will present the experience gained during 15 years of ABBYY’s activities in global markets. We will also provide recommendations on how to create products for global markets and how to promote them in different countries.
