CONTENTSERV is on the Upswing and Can Look Back on a Successful Year 2009

Rohrbach/Ilm January 18, 2010: The software manufacturer CONTENTSERV can look back on a consistently successful business year despite the turbulence overshadowing the German economy. Successful project conclusions, comprehensive and continued development of products and a very good sales trend characterized 2009. CONTENTSERV starts the New Year confidently with plenty of work and interesting new project contracts for 2010.

Growth and an Increase in Sales Contrary to the General Trend

With an increase in sales of around 15% compared to the previous year, the rather cautious goals, which were set in consideration of the financial crisis, were clearly exceeded. In response to increasing demand more staff was hired, the company was realigned and new commercial partners were won. It was thus possible for the Bavarian software manufacturer to consolidate and strengthen its market position in 2009 as well.

Groundbreaking Product Innovations

With two new releases first for version 5.2 in spring and the latest release at the end of November for version 5.3, CONTENTSERV made giant leaps in its product development. Many interesting customer projects, i.e. for Bayer Schering Pharma, the evenord group, DZ BANK AG, Deutscher Sparkassenverlag, and Langenscheidt KG contributed towards these new developments. These include further refinement of the new CONTENTSERV portal concept in version 5.3 and new products, such as the CS Publication Planner, the solution for the planning, organization and creation of multi-page marketing material and publications. The current release is presented in detail or our website.

Successful Events for Customers, Partners and Interested Parties

After the Customer and Partner Day in summer, CONTENTSERV launched the 1st OpenHouseDay on November 1, 2009. This is an in-house-event, which is to be held annually for customers, partners, interested parties and staff. During this event the comprehensive know-how of the partner network is imparted in interesting presentations on current topics in addition to attractive key notes. Participants also have the opportunity to network in a communicative and relaxing atmosphere.

Further Strategic Realignment of CONTENTSERV

With the goal to present itself even more in the future as a provider of software solutions for all processes relevant to marketing, CONTENTSERV has been steering a new course since autumn. Its new image is also reflected in the re-designed CONTENTSERV website. The change in course was already being taken and supported at the start of the year with a variety of new marketing material emphasizing CONTENTSERV’s competence in providing and developing modular and flexible solutions.

New Competence in Partner Network

Four new partners joined the CONTENTSERV partner network: The business areas of Wehlmann Katalogie® in Essen include consulting, advertising and technology. SAWS GmbH & Co. KG specializes in the complete project handling of e-learning platforms, survey/evaluation systems and web-to-print applications. Coopero GmbH in Munich provides planning and realization of online-marketing instruments, and interactive dialog solutions in the Internet. As a new technology partner econda gmbh provides solutions for successful web-shop controlling.

Perspective for 2010

After an outstanding last quarter 2009 many promising customer projects, i.e. for HiPP, Texas Instruments, Giesecke & Devrient, Merck Pharma, Wolf Anlagentechnik, Heko-Media, DRK and the evenord group, are already ensuring a good start to the New Year 2010. Additional projects are also close to completion. CONTENTSERV enters the new business year with an excellent backlog and can look forward to continued growth.
