Mr. Jan Sundelin, CEO of TIE, comments:
“The 2012 acquisition of Ascention did not bring TIE what we expected. Sales performance both on the acquired product suite and on the TIE products was disappointing and key staff was lost after the acquisition. We have taken action to improve the functionality of the acquired products and have rolled out a marketing campaign for the TIE products. Our action plan will result in improved performance in 2014.
The loss of customer CNET has made us reconsider our solution offering in the US. With our modular packaging of the CSP solution, we are now able to speed up considerably our US sales whilst at the same time we are reducing the sales cycle. Our lead generation program looks promising and in Q4, 7 new accounts have been signed.
In The Netherlands our business developed well as our E-commerce revenue continues to steadily increase with 16% this year. The relation with our large customers KPN and T-Mobile developed according to plan.
The acquisition of TFT will bring the required expansion for our company. TFT has valuable knowledge on hosting large customers in a complex environment and has ample experience with Google Search Engine Optimization. We will add this knowledge to the current TIE solutions. We have comprised an elaborate integration plan covering both the front end of our business, selling TIE products in the TFT customer base, the back office of our operations.”
