Apps Associates continues to invest in many areas critical to our growth and important to our long-term success. Investment in European operations and expansion is viewed as one of the cornerstones to further enable our global capabilities and to allow us to better serve our customers. Our expansion into Europe began in 2006 with the founding of Apps Associates GmbH in Germany. The challenge of the "Old World" continent is the wide range of countries, regional specific requirements and the various philosophies and regulations within the European Economic Area. Therefore, Apps Associates will continue to establish independent subsidiaries across Europe, staffed and managed by experienced native resources who are very well informed and focused on the local and regional requirements. These subsidiaries will support each other across Europe and will also leverage the wide-ranging capabilities of Apps Associates across the globe including our facilities in US and our Global Development Center located in Hyderabad India.
