international tactic

For the reasons previously discussed, international expansion spans multiple knowledge management tactics: employing evolving technology, building upon core systems and expanding business-to-business offerings.

TSYS has offered clients beyond North America rich options in a processing system that will function in multiple languages and multiple currencies at once.

TSYS opened an office in the United Kingdom in 1999. This marked our entry to the European marketplace and has prompted plans for our first data center overseas to serve potential clients. With a base in Europe,TSYS is more responsive to the needs of this growing market.
Market demands in Europe are driving innovations at home, like developing certified smart card services with applications in healthcare, government, financial services and more. In the first quarter of 2000, TSYS underwent precertification to process American Express transactions through American Express Global Network Services, another important step toward accepting all genres of electronic payments. TSYS is developing a system that drastically reduces time-to-market in new countries.
