Software Companies are Welcome in Italy

KLAMPENBORG, Denmark - Nov. 12, 2014 - PRLog -- Italy and the Italian-speaking Switzerland rank officially as the 4th largest market in Europe. However, taking the domestic competitive landscape into consideration the market opportunity is much bigger.

“Although the economic crisis has hit Italy hard there is still a substantial and growing demand for IT-based solutions and services,” says Hans Peter Bech, CEO of TBK Consult. “The domestic Italian IT industry is highly fragmented and made up of thousands of smaller players with only limited resources for making any significant impact in the market. This represents an immense opportunity for incoming software companies enjoying international recognition and experience.”

The TBK Consult Italian Chapter http://www.tbkconsult.com/italian-chapter is currently staffed with four senior software executives Gianmaria Odello, Nicola Angelina, Stefano Zonin and Ezio Vicaro. Their combined knowledge, expertise and networks are now available to support foreign ISVs in approaching the Italian speaking markets in:

·       Identifying and building an initial customer base

·       Building and managing a business partners network,

·       Acting as the ISV’s local representative

·       Selecting acquisition targets supporting the entire acquisition process

TBK Consult Italian Chapter, a tight collaboration between all the TBK Consult Partners active in Italy and South Switzerland, is geographically distributed in Northern Italy (Torino, Milano, Padova and Lugano).

“The community of software SMEs” says Gianmaria Odello, TBK Consult Holding co-founder, “needs to find new expansion strategies, needs to know how to accelerate the process of entering foreign markets and how to appeal to potential investors through M&A projects. These demands are now more than ever present in our industry. The TBK Consult Italian Chapter is the runway for foreign software companies approaching the Italian and Swiss markets. Now more than ever we welcome software companies from all over the world.”
