Acquisition of Expert Systems Development Svenska AB


Expert Systems has one of the leading cloud based e-invoicing solutions in the Nordics Great addition to our product portfolio that creates good upselling opportunities for our subsidiaries that also are recurring revenue based

Our performance for the full year 2013 was affected by


Several new large license deals were subscription based, which hurt us in the short run Non-recurring costs associated with our acquisition of Expert Systems Non-recurring costs related to the cost reduction program that we initiated during Q213 The global roll-out of XBOUND took longer than expected, we consequently didnt reach our full sales potential within this area. This also affected our hardware sales connected to the XBOUND sales Decrease in our billable consulting hours in Q113 impacted the result negatively

The strategic move to create a dedicated sales team selling our Oracle solution on a global basis proved to be very successful We continued to increase the number of large deals A cost reduction program was initiated in Q213 and was completed in Q413

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.

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

We will focus on profitable growth


Our cloud-based solutions are growing rapidly and are well positioned We will continue to focus on increasing our recurring revenue We will enhance our sales organization where we see growth potential We will continue the global roll-out of our acquired solutions to the global market and to our subsidiaries

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
