Access Commerce continues to provide Cameleon solutions to major clients, and added Technip and Institut Français du Pétrole to the list of new accounts. The Integration Activity also confirmed a return to healthy growth with good visibility for the rest of the fiscal year.
In 2008, beyond the industrial market where Cameleon solutions have been particularly well received, Access Commerce plans to extend its sales efforts in the telecommunications, insurance, healthcare, and financial services sectors. One of the key components of Access Commerce’s strategy is the strengthening of alliances with companies in these markets, which appears to be a catalyst for driving revenue growth in 2008.
Access Commerce expects to reach annual breakeven at around €12.7 million in 2008, compared with €11 million in 2007. This increase is due primarily to the impacts of IAS 38 – the company stopped capitalising R&D expense at the end of November 2007 (€0.65 million) – and IFRS 2 Share-based Payment (€0.15 million). These two items concern non-cash, mainly non-recurrent charges. In addition, the company made further investments in 2008 in order to speed penetration of new services markets (through additional sales staff and stepped-up marketing) and bolster technological innovation around its Cameleon suite. |
