While nearshore European countries can be leveraged for services delivery, there can be some potential business tradeoffs (e.g., higher cost of operations). Today, European language speakers are globally spread, and, hence, organizations need not limit themselves to just Europe for services delivery in European languages.

Our World of Words handbook supports organizations in their efforts to identify the right locations for delivering services in European languages. The report assesses the relative attractiveness of 23 key global locations based on their ability to deliver services in each of 8 European languages.
