Announcement no. 12/2008
Maconomy A/S signs preliminary agreement with Marstrand Innovation A/S
for People Planner acquisition
Copenhagen, July 7, 2008. Maconomy A/S today signed a preliminary agreement
with Marstrand Innovation A/S regarding the acquisition and purchase of IP
rights (Intellectual Property) to Maconomy People Planner - an advanced
resource and planning tool for efficient resource management and project
follow-up.
Maconomy People Planner has been developed in close collaboration between
Maconomy and Marstrand Innovation. The solution was released to market in
October 2007 as an integrated part of Maconomy X+, but it can also be used on a
standalone basis or be integrated with other systems (point solution).
Maconomy People Planner increases profitability by way of better resource
utilisation and the improved resource overview enables greater order capacity
with fewer budget overruns - significant performance parameters for Maconomy's
customers. Read more about the solution on www.maconomy.com/peopleplanner
The 2008 expectations for Maconomy's People Planner licence sales amount to
approx. DKK 10 million (four times the revenue in 2007). These expectations
will not be changed in case of a final agreement with Marstrand, but the
expense structure will be changed from payment of royalty fees to financing
expenses.
