Here at the TNS Group, we are constantly looking for ways not only to extend our reach to new clients, but also to expand our core offerings and drive the business upward. Recently when faced with the losing business to outside hosting companies, TNS explored the possibility of investing capital to create our own hosting environment, rather than risk losing the business.
A recent article on ITnews described how other companies in the tech sector are doing just that; looking beyond our borders for the next growth market to capitalize on.
Acer, the world's third largest PC vendor, expects fast growth in China next year as its revenue there climbs to US$2.5 billion from $1 billion this year.
The company believes its China operations will make up more than 20 percent of total revenue within 5 years, an Acer representative said, confirming comments made by Acer Chairman J.T. Wang at a conference in Taipei.
Acer believes China is going to become the world's largest PC market within the next two years.
In addition to Acer’s core line of laptop computers, they hope to enter the fray into the tablet market, which took off this year after Apple unveiled the iPad. A number of companies have followed with similar products that use touch screens, such as Samsung Electronics' Galaxy Tab and Research In Motion's BlackBerry PlayBook.
Acer executives earlier this year forecast the tablet market will reach about 40 million to 50 million units globally next year, and said Acer could take a 15 percent to 20 percent share of that market.
Taking a stab at a new global market is nothing new to TNS. After starting small in 1998, TNS has moved from a local Connecticut Citrix shop into a full service IT company servicing NJ, NY ant CT.
