VD har ordet

CloudRepublic har gjort en strategisk översyn av verksamheten som lett till en del ändringar i både styrelse, ledning och försäljningsorganisation. Den materiella förändringen i strategin kan sammanfattas med att vi nu i ökande grad skiftar fokus från framåtblickande aktiviteter till lönsamhetsfokus. Förvärvet av Northside och Anegy ger oss en kundbas och leveransförmåga som kombinerat med vår plattform skapar möjligheter att på ett planerat sätt uppnå lönsamhet. Vi har identifierat exakt vad vi måste göra för att uppnå lönsam tillväxt. En del av dessa åtgärder är genomförda och vi jobbar för fullt med resten för att optimera värdeskapandet.

Integrationsarbetet med förvärven fortskrider och vi samarbetar redan inom försäljning och även i viss mån kring leveranser mellan bolagen i koncernen. Kombinationen av vår plattform och våra förvärvade förmågor skapar konkurrenskraft för oss och värdeaddering till våra kunder.

Efter en diskussion med PRV och en patentbyrå har vi förstått att möjligheten för att erhålla ett godkänt patent för den typ av algoritmer vi arbetar med är betydligt större i USA än i Sverige. Att få patentet godkänt i Sverige utan betydande investeringar i arbetstid och konsulthjälp från en erfaren patentingenjör bedöms nu som små. Vi har därför valt att inte investera mer i denna patentprocess, varken i Sverige eller USA, och har dragit tillbaka vår patentansökan för att minimera våra kostnader och samtidigt förhindra att ansökan blir publik. Vi känner dock att vi nu har allt i våra egna händer och har nu en bra bas att bygga ifrån.

Vår vision om 300 MSEK i omsättningstakt innan utgången av 2020 var ambitiöst men inte omöjligt i kombination med våra förvärvsplaner. Vi kommer att fortsätta med en aggressiv tillväxtplan men vill inte precisera målen i siffror för att undvika att de uppfattas som regelrätta prognoser.

Bildandet av Cloudonline AB (tidigare Litestream, Systemet IT och Systemstrategerna) på vårt initiativ och som CloudRepublic äger 25% av var strategiskt rätt för att få maximal avkastning på vår investering och har alla möjligheter att utvecklas till ett bra bolag. Arbetet med att integrera de tre bolagen har inte gått i den takt som var planerat och Systemstrategernas och Extern ITs omsättning har inte hunnit flyttas in i det gemensamma Cloudonline i den takt som planerats. Ett av bolagen har visat sig vara i sämre skick än vad som kunde befaras. Den löpande omsättningstakt om ca 15-20 MSEK årligen som var målet för dem visade sig därför vara för optimistisk. Cloudonline AB har i skrivande stund inte hunnit färdigställa sin årsredovisning för 2017. De räknar nu med att i januari 2018, då alla tre bolagens omsättning ingår i Cloudonline AB, omsätta ca 750 TSEK, vilket motsvarar 9 MSEK på rullande 12-månaders bas. Vår andel som vi har vi bokfört till 609 TSEK motsvarar substansvärdet i samband med transaktionen. Sammantaget gör vi bedömningen att detta inte föranleder någon nedskrivning av den konservativa värderingen.

Slutligen, vi börjar få kritisk massa på vår verksamhet samtidigt som vi ligger i diskussioner om ytterligare förvärv. Vi ser en mycket stark marknad för våra verksamheter och är sammantaget positiva inför framtiden.

Digital school: What is PBX hosting?

What is Virtual PBX hosting?
Virtual (PBX) Private Branch Exchange technology enables even small companies to benefit from a sophisticated telephone system without a large upfront investment in equipment. Without it, companies would still be reliant on expensive onsite exchanges to manage their incoming and outgoing calls from multiple phones. Virtual PBX hosting does away with the need for such on-site hardware by using cloud computing technology.

What are the benefits?
Rather than having to have one phone line for each member of staff, a PBX allows a company, no matter how large, to have just one phone number. With the system in place, staff can effectively use the office telephone for their work, whether that’s from home, a hotel room, or through their own cell phone or any device that’s certified for use with the system. This means that anyone who is out of the office can stay connected.

How do you make a call?
Usually, all you need to do is log on to the system using a password or responding to a security question and then dialing the number you want. With such a system you should be able to transfer callers, put them on hold and set up conference calls. You can even have your phone answered by an automated attendant who then directs callers to specific departments.

What else can the system do?
A hosted PBX system will allow you to have virtual numbers in cities where you are not physically located. That means you can create a virtual office anywhere in the world, giving the impression that you are locally based, even though you may be thousands of miles away.

Who operates the system?
Rather than a phone company, a virtual PBX is operated and maintained by a Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) service provider.

Do you have to get rid of your existing phone system first?
Not if you don’t want to. You can continue using your existing telephone system in conjunction with a Virtual PBX system, or you can replace it completely with Virtual PBX hosting.

What are the ongoing costs?
Like most cloud-based services, you pay a monthly or yearly subscription.

How easy is it to scale this system?
This also makes it much easier to upgrade the system to meet the changing needs of your business. While traditional phone systems can handle only so many users before you have to purchase more lines, with a virtual phone system like this it can expand and contract quickly and cost-effectively according to the changing needs of your business because it is so easy to add or subtract lines.

Do you have a digital strategy in place?
Virtual PBX hosting is just another way in which companies of all types and sizes can help make staff more productive by using cloud-based technologies. However, if you really want to maximize your efficiency, you have to have a more comprehensive digital strategy in place that brings technology to other parts of your business.

Discover your level of Digitalization
To help you do this, we have created a Digitalization Index that enables you to measure your current ‘digital footprint’ against 200 different criteria covering such things as online presence, social media activity and SEO, so as to identify how you could specifically increase your profitability by digitizing further.

Virtual PBX – Glossary
Audio menu – provides callers with a series of options they can take on reaching number.
Auto-attendant – a feature that automatically answers any incoming calls, even if the line is busy, in which case it can greet the caller with a customized message and provide a menu of options they can take.
Find me/Follow me – the simultaneous ringing of someone’s mobile, desk phone or home number to find where they are.
Call Hunt Group – this is a PBX configuration whereby each extension in a group will be tried until a free one can be found. It is used a lot in sales and call centers.
Internet telephony – technology that allows telephone calls to be carried over the internet, like Skype.
Virtual phone system – a cloud-based hosted telephone system, but with fewer functions than a Virtual PBX.
Voice over IP (VoIP) – the technology that allows telephony to work over IP technologies such as the company LAN and the internet.

Location is the name of the game

Location, location, location has long been the mantra of the real estate industry. Now it’s fast becoming the catchphrase of marketers looking to target elusive ‘on the move’ customers.

In fact, what’s known as ‘digital out-of-home’ advertising, or DOOH, is set to be the fastest-growing media channel. So much so that PwC predicts DOOH advertising revenues will outstrip those from sources such as mobile, video and on-demand by 2020.

So, what’s behind the meteoric rise of DOOH?

One. There are now more display screens coming on stream, in more locations. The falling price of LCD and LED display technology, and the emergence of a more established marketplace for programmatic advertising, are helping to fuel this expansion.

Two. Mobile and DOOH are becoming increasingly connected. That’s enabling the creation and accurate delivery of timely, targeted messages. In this, Bluetooth low-energy beacons that broadcast messages at specific locations to mobile devices, for example within a store or shopping mall, will be a game-changer.

Three. Cities are getting smarter. DOOH is increasingly being integrated into the digital infrastructure of cities. In the UK, Birmingham and Manchester already have ‘The Loop’ – an integrated network of full-motion digital locations linked by Wi-Fi and equipped with facial recognition that deliver content and relevant brand messaging to mobile devices in those areas.

Four. Digital displays are getting better at identifying target audiences. Gender recognition, gaze-tracking and vehicle recognition technology are all allowing ever more precise targeting. Emotion recognition technology, such as that already found on Xbox One games, will soon be rolled out into the wider world.

Five. Improved interactive displays. With higher-resolution displays, and technologies like OLED, transparent displays, quantum dot and HDR, displays can become more immersive and interactive, so consumers can engage with content at a much deeper level. This is going to be increasingly the case, with Microsoft’s Handpose software, for example, having the potential to track hand and even finger movements at a distance. Greater fiber connectivity also means live content can be streamed to screens worldwide, further deepening the immersive experience.

Do you know your level of Digitalization?

The dramatic rise of DOOH shows how fast the marketing landscape can change. So it pays to regularly reassess your digital strategy, not just to gain competitive advantage, but also to ensure a new technology doesn’t catch you unawares.

To help businesses get a better of understanding of what their next digital step should be, we created our Digitalization Index. Based on over 200 parameters and competitor benchmarks, this tool enables you to objectively identify your future digital priorities and how you can best exploit them.
