In 2012, we initiated a partnership with SMS Passcode, a specialized software company focused on two-factor authentication. Despite being a smaller player at that time, SMS Passcode had already secured a strong foothold in the market. This case study highlights the strategic collaboration between GlobeSearch and SMS Passcode, illustrating our role in recruiting top leaders and technical specialists in both the commercial and technical realms. The partnership flourished for several years until SMS Passcode was acquired by the American cybersecurity firm ENTRUST.
