International

We speak tech.
And English, French,
German, Italian,
Portuguese.

A UK-based software team with the languages, the timezones and the cultural fluency to work with clients across Europe - the way international projects actually need to be run.

Thanks to them taking a leading role we have fully transformed into a digital business operating in the cloud. I would not hesitate to recommend the UmbrellaDev team.

How we work internationally

The stuff that
trips other agencies up.

International software projects fail for the same reasons every time. We've seen them all, and we build around them from the start.

01 · LANGUAGE

Multilingual, natively

English, French, German, Italian and Portuguese - spoken by people on the team, not looked up in a translation tool. Meetings, specs, support tickets, user interfaces.

02 · JURISDICTIONS

Regulation and compliance

UK GDPR, EU GDPR, national data-residency requirements, multi-currency payments, VAT MOSS, invoicing rules - we build systems that work in the jurisdictions they run in.

03 · TIMEZONES

Timezone-aware delivery

UK working hours cover most of Europe. Our support and monitoring runs later than the standard 9 to 5, and we're used to scheduling around clients in Central and Eastern European time.

04 · CULTURE

Cultural fluency

Every European market has its own way of doing business - how contracts get agreed, how decisions get made, how projects get signed off. Thirty-three years of working across borders has taught us the differences.

Who we work with

Businesses that don't stop
at the Channel.

European businesses with UK operations. UK businesses expanding into Europe. International NGOs and membership organisations with member networks across the continent. Anywhere the software has to work in more than one language and more than one country.

borders?
