Greetings from Google!

You asked for companies based in Portland Oregon that earn a
significant amount of revenue from software products sold in
non-english speaking European countries. A search on Google.com turned
up the Portland Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce website:
http://www.thechamber.net.
(Note that the old address, http://www.pdxchamber.org, no longer
works)

There are thirteen software companies listed in the Chamber's business
directory under the category of Computer Software. That page is
available here:
http://www.thechamber.net/cgi-bin/foxweb.exe/cwlink/direcatn?catid=313&client=PORLMCC

After visiting each company's website, I have arrived at the following
results, and have divided these results into two sections. The first
section are the companies that are headquartered in the Portland, OR
area that do significant business internationally. The second section
are companies that have branches in the Portland, Oregan area that do
significant business internationally.


There are only two companies that are headquartered in the Portland,
Oregon area that do significant business in European countries:
