Harvey Spencer Associates
Software vendors have grabbed hold of the concept of SPAs (Smart Process Applications). This should not be a surprise; SPAs represent a large and emerging market. Vendors in the ECM, BPM, and case management markets like Kofax, ReadSoft, Fujitsu see SPAs as a refreshing way to position their agile technology to the business decision-makers, where budgets and IT staff are migrating.

Going Forward
Going forward
We will continue to give priority to margin improvements
We have adjusted our organization further by merging our 2 lab organizations to 1 and consolidating our 4 regions to 3 We have appointed Bjrn Karlsson as EVP Product Management with the charger to enhance products and reach a higher degree of scalability
The most likely scenario is a market that will be somewhat volatile but still fairly good and growing
A cost conscious market where companies focus on efficiency gains is positive to us, but we foresee somewhat longer decision cycles
Thank you!
