From the CEO: September updatewritten by Alain Vandenborne, September 2010
Dear Friends and business partners, As we head towards the 4th quarter of this year it gives us great pleasure to share some of the year’s highlights so far, and especially our most recent good news, with you.
The first quarter of 2010 will have certainly brought much discussion regarding targets and potential initiatives and avenues to be explored. At ENQIO we started out the year with a primary objective of strengthening our core capabilities so as to ensure consistent delivery of only the highest quality of relevant products and services.
We were determined to advance our reputation as the company that always delivers an improved understanding of the issues at hand, with better tools and well practiced methods with which to effectively overcome the challenges out there. In this light we increased our ‘partner alliances’ with some of the industry’s top platform provider companies. We also appointed Johan Vranckx as our new Commercial Director and Chris Lievens to head up our sales department. (More information on our key people and partners can be seen here)
Alongside our ENQIO corporate website, this year we launched the fun and informational MeetOscar site that focuses on developing awareness of your client-base’s Social Network and showing some of the ways you can capitalize on the value potential this presents. Looking at how communities work, Word of Mouth, Viral Marketing, Social Network Leaders and marketing, the site educates and provokes discussion about the growth opportunities that Insights into Social Networks can provide.
With an eye on our ongoing expansion strategy into international markets beyond Europe we participated in several trade shows and speaking events from Barcelona to Singapore. ENQIO specialists delivered in-depth reviews and some surprising conclusions on subjects such as Price Setting, Social Network Marketing and new revenue channels.
€1.7MILLION CAPITAL INCREASE 2010 saw new clients taking on our products and services and several other innovative projects in the pipeline beginning to take shape. Our efforts were rewarded in late July when we announced a capital increase of €1.7million. We welcomed this intensified all-round support for our development as a leader in the industry. This is the first capital increase for ENQIO since it was established in June last year and is one of this year's biggest privately funded capital increases for a Belgian company active in the ICT sector. ENQIO will use the extra investment for research and development, product development, expansion of the sales team, targeted acquisitions to complement our offering and to grow our presence internationally.
