“The market is currently pervaded by increasing optimism, associated in particular with increasing trading volumes, which generate a willingness to invest in systems in our niche,” says Veronica Augustsson, CEO, in a comment. “A gradually increasing proportion of license revenues, combined with the influx of customers over the past year, is beginning to have a positive impact on sales and operational profitability.
