As it expanded its global footprint, Geometric, was quick to shift its marketing strategy from an initial indirect approach of selling products and solutions through their channel partners and system integrators, to a direct go-to market strategy having a judicious mix of on-site and off-site delivery centers. This allows it to significantly drive customer service levels due to the close proximity and maximize value-creation for customers through a unified marketing strategy across diverse geographies.

Further, Geometric has strategically strengthened its sales force to effectively market solutions across the major EDS outsourcing economies of United States (U.S.), Europe and Japan. Geometric is now able to leverage its ten global delivery centers, out of which three are located in the low cost hubs of India, China and Romania, for cost-effective delivery of solutions, with a value proposition that extends beyond being a low cost solution provider.

Geometric has successfully established partnerships with PIM providers to provide value-added solutions to customers.
