of a presence in EMEA and beyond. A key element of the new office will be
immediate support of our customer base overseas." Tom Edwards, VP of Sales &
Marketing, Telligent.

computing solutions continues to gain momentum outside the U.S. In an
otherwise challenging business environment, we are discovering that

what Web 2.0 can bring to the enterprise." Steve Poncini, Director of
