From the website, for publishers:

We pioneered the practice of global gateway design, and we were the first firm to begin benchmarking global web sites across all industries. Over the years, we have studied thousands of web sites and consulted with the people who manage these sites.

We've learned a thing or two about what makes a global web site truly successful and we share this information through reports, benchmark services, and the popular blog: Global by Design.

Seems like one of the more interesting and innovative groups out there. Worth a look.
