This is one of them.” Mr. Fanet added, “This solidifies our Blue Chip customer base by providing new capabilities to support our fast-growing business and our worldwide expansion. The performance of our cloud-based Pervasive Computing platform enables complex business decisions based on real-time traffic flows.

This is an exciting time as we bring our customers even more integrated operational business value along the manufactured consumer goods lifecycle. As a result of the merger, a new era for the global retailing industry with new operating and business models will finally be unleashed.”
