DNN European Headquarters
by: Phil Biggs, 15/07/2011
DotNetNuke Corp., the commercial arm of the most widely adopted Web Content Management Platform for Microsoft .NET, has announced the opening of its new European headquarters in Amsterdam.
The Amsterdam offices will provide European DotNetNuke customers the convenience of a local presence, while allowing the company to better connect with existing and potential customers in the European market.
In 2010, 15-percent of DotNetNuke revenue and more than 35-percent of the organisation’s web traffic was generated from Europe. Amsterdam represents a central location with close proximity to major Northern and Western European countries, and is also home to strong DotNetNuke and .NET user communities.
The Amsterdam offices allow DotNetNuke to establish a local presence for the close to 40-percent of users based in Europe. Customers in Europe will enjoy the benefits of a local sales presence, available during local business hours and with multi-lingual capabilities. DotNetNuke will also have European support personnel on-site to address customer inquiries and technical issues.
DotNetNuke employees will begin working out of the Amsterdam offices from 12th July.

Navin Nagiah, President and CEO of DotNetNuke Corp.
“As an open source project and community, DotNetNuke has always had a strong presence in Europe. Given our recent revenue traction and the rapidly-growing customer interest we have seen in Europe, we knew that expanding to Europe was a logical and necessary step. We believe that with a local presence, and by incorporating the product feedback we receive from the European market, we can increase Europe’s share of our overall revenue stream to more than 30-percent in the next two to three years.”

Phil Biggs, Technical Director, Chord9
“This is a welcome development. It is recognition of the very significant role that the European user base has played in popularising and contributing to the DotNetNuke product family. A European commercial presence will aid penetration of DotNetNuke into SMEs and larger corporates.”
