Outlook
Serenic expects to continue to experience incremental improvement in the business, despite being hampered by a very cautious global market. Selling cycles continue to be prolonged, as most new customers generally conduct significantly more due diligence with their software application purchases than was previously the case. Although such caution continues to delay the closing of new business, what is reassuring is that Serenic's applications are generally successful in most competitive sales situations. We are essentially on pace with sales plans as they relate to our historical products and applications, however at a more modest pace than we had hoped. We are also working diligently on next generation cloud computing (SaaS) products which we expect will be able to facilitate success within new niche markets, with the objective being to garner new customers that our historical on-premise solutions have not specifically addressed to date. Ongoing marketing activities continue to build our sales pipelines and indications confirm management's belief that demand for Serenic's applications and services remain strong, both in North America and internationally.
Corporate development initiatives will also continue as a priority to seek potential merger and acquisition possibilities that may serve to increase revenue and EBITDA, and/or otherwise advance our objective to better deliver value for our shareholders.
While we remain prudent with expenses, we continue to invest in the development of evolutionary products and services, the addition of new employees where required, and into certain other marketing and sales initiatives that we expect will assist the growth of our business. Our balance sheet, cash and working capital positions remain strong in management's opinion, which support our ability to execute our current strategies and plans, essentially unhampered. We continue to look forward to deliver incremental progress in the shorter term, and greater realizable value for stakeholders in the longer term.
