New Win & Follow-on Orders

 

Our customers, from time to time, increase their licenses and the scope of the solutions we provide to them. This quarter, like in all previous quarters, we received follow-on orders from existing customers for additional functionality and license upgrades.

 

The new win is with an existing customer to enhance and customize the MINDBill platform to support a Hosted Mobile (MVNO) – transforming the existing customer into a full MVNE.  The MVNE platform includes all MINDBill modules, omnichannel ecommerce, mobile app and WEB selfcare for residential and commercial users. The MINDBill platform enables integration with external applications such as ERP, support for multiple languages, branding throughout the applications and communication methods and the customizations include contract layout, invoice layout, receipt layout, and notifications.

 

Active Pursuit of Acquisitions

 

As previously announced, we continue targeting potential acquisitions that could be a source of growth, by focusing on acquisition targets at reasonable valuations that satisfy the criteria we defined: proven revenues, complementary technology or geography and expected accretion to earnings within two to three quarters.
