One of the most known Estonian software house goes East: Palestina and Quatar look better than Estonia.
As the situation is getting harder everyday, some companies decided to try
other ways and explore other markets, no matter how far those will be from the
Estonian one.
Priit Alamae, Webmedia CEO, has some clear ideas about that: “Everything is
in place here”, he said to TigerPrises while commenting the interest its
company showed on market such as the Africana and Middle-Easern ones.
Webimedia, a well known and consolidated software house, these markets
represent a great chance as for the chances offered by the lack of competitors,
as for the money that governments seem to handle at the moment.
After starting by providing services in Palestina for the National Tax
Board, Webimedia decided to open an office in the new Silicon Valley of the
Middle East, Doha.
From here, using the know-how developed in Estonia, the company plans to start
offering visas and ID cards-related e-services platforms for the Ministry of
Interior.
And this seems to be only the top of a fruitful iceberg as Alamae is convinced
that, if the guys in Doha
will be smart enough to learn Arabic and widen their relations, the profit of
the company might rise by 30-50% per year.
Not bad, especially in a moment when everyone else is crying out in front of
the crisis.
