Marketing - Computers: Software
English term or phrase: boasts a global reach
This comes from a software company's website;

"YYYY's XXXX boasts a global reach, addressing business requirements from all parts of the world."

YYYY is the name of the company and XXXX is the name of the software.

So far I've come up with;
- YYYY est fier de la portée globale de XXXX
or,
- XXXX de YYYY jouit d'une portée globale

Any other suggestions gratefully received.

fort de sa dimension internationale
Explanation:

As in, "Fort de sa dimension internationale, XXXX de YYYY répond aux besoins...."

This is a formula you often see - tho' maybe that makes it too clichéd for you...? Would also work well with Sahibmann's "présence".

jouit d'une présence globale/ mondiale


Explanation:
See if this fits for you. Because "boasts" can have a positive or a negative connotation in which case "se vanter' and "targuer" wont work.

Notes to answerer
Asker: No, it's definitely 'boasts', and it also appears in other parts of the text to be translated. It's American English, not UK English.

peut se targuer d'une envergure (présence) mondiale


Explanation:
Cette démarche peut être allégée en recourant à un opérateur de certification ... Et il n'existe pas de PSC pouvant se targuer d'une forte présence mondiale
