Phil's thoughts and predictions on Europe 1 week after the IAMERS meeting

by Philip F. Jacobus, CEO | September 12, 2012

Diana followed her instincts and the meeting in Florence was an endorsement of her actions.

If you're not fully convinced, let's focus on some stats. At DOTmed we believe with more than 185,000 registered users that 85 to 90 percent of all independent players around the world have registered on our site. Our analysis of our user stats shows a clear growth in Western AND Eastern Europe over the last five years -- and more dramatically over the last two years.

The Internet makes anything possible. European hospitals can sell around the world or to one of the fast-growing local European firms. European independent service firms can buy parts across borders or across the ocean. Further, what was looked down on five years ago will, I predict, become the norm.

At DOTmed we are in the process of developing our European strategy. I will share it with you soon. For now, I suggest it is time to take a hard look at how you can capitalize on this new trend of an independent-friendly Europe.

As always, I welcome your feedback.
