“Western Europe is a key market for First Line, and we felt that it was imperative to have a solid presence in the region in order to support our aggressive growth plans.”, said First Line Software’s CEO. “The choice of the location for our European office was based on the relationships we have built in the last couple of years with the business associations and the business community in The Netherlands, as well as our belief that the Dutch market in particular and the Western European market in general is ready to step up the degree to which they use nearshoring for software development. As our clients’ experience shows, there is tremendous business that value to be had from partnering with a competent technology provider, and we expect to work with companies that are most actively seeking that value.”
