The Company now has approximately
7,700 people in 32 countries with approximately 80% of net revenue
across the Americas, 15% across Europe, the Middle East and Africa
and 5% across Asia-Pacific. The longer-term objective is a
geographic split of 60%:20%:20%. Content currently accounts for
approximately 60% of net revenue, Data&Digital Media 25% and
Technology Services 15%. The long-term objective for the practices
is a split of 50%:25%:25%.
