Servoy Newsletter March 2010

Dear Newsletter reader,

Time flies, it's already the third newsletter this year. We had a busy start of the year with the launch of our France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland offices. With offices now in 12 countries, we also get a good overview of what is happening worldwide. We are seeing that the software industry is rapidly starting to grow again. I spotted an article in Saturday's newspaper that confirms this is not only happening in the software industry. Internationally, trade of goods is also seeing a rise.

Read the full article.

Enjoy the rest of the newsletter!

Best Regards,

Jan Aleman
