It became possible to have a sales offices in Europe and Asia, while maintaining headquarters in the United States. Not only did technology make it possible but also more cost-efficient. Businesses soon saw the savings and passed it on to consumers. These globalized processes have been applied to just about anything: from personal interaction to business solutions.
