1.11 CompetitionThe Direc<strong>to</strong>rs believe the MVAS market <strong>to</strong> be highly fragmented, with a large number of smaller localparticipants and a few participants who are operating on an international basis. They also believe thatthe MVAS market will start <strong>to</strong> consolidate, resulting in fewer, more significant competi<strong>to</strong>rs, covering awide range of marketing applications in large terri<strong>to</strong>ries.The Group’s competi<strong>to</strong>rs with international experience and a more expanded presence include Veltiplc, Zed Group, TIMw.e., Upstream S.A., Buongiorno Spa, WIN plc and Eservglobal plc. Whilst allthese companies operate within the MVAS market, their business models differ substantially from eachother and from that of the Group.Velti plc focuses on offering its services through an on-demand, SaaS model. It offers no digital contenteither as a separate business line or integrated in its engagement platform. Velti plc’s platforms providevarious applications and systems which are used by mobile network opera<strong>to</strong>rs for their services such asring<strong>to</strong>nes, send<strong>to</strong>nes, games, wallpapers, horoscopes and fashion and beauty alerts.Zed Group focuses predominately on producing and distributing digital entertainment content acrossseveral media platforms, including mobile devices. However, Zed Group has also developed atechnology platform <strong>to</strong> execute and manage large scale mobile marketing campaigns and has so farexecuted more than 46 such projects in several different countries.Buongiorno Spa is also a mobile entertainment company, focusing on delivering digital content <strong>to</strong>mobile subscribers. The Direc<strong>to</strong>rs believe that the company has not developed any notable mobilemarketing activity and remains focused on the entertainment niche of the MVAS industry.TIMw.e. is predominately involved in digital content sales, in several different countries of the world.The Direc<strong>to</strong>rs believe that TIMw.e. competes directly with both Buongiorno Spa and Zed Group.TIMw.e. has developed moderate mobile marketing skills, but this is not believed <strong>to</strong> be its core business.The Direc<strong>to</strong>rs believe Upstream S.A. focuses entirely on large scale mobile marketing campaigns, nothaving any other significant business activities in the wider MVAS industry, including the mobileentertainment niche.WIN plc (recently acquired by IMImobile Europe Limited) is broadly competing in the MVASbusiness, although it has rarely competed for large scale mobile marketing campaigns. The Direc<strong>to</strong>rsbelieve that WIN plc focuses more on selling digital content and less on providing integrated mobilemarketing solutions for opera<strong>to</strong>rs, media companies or brands.Eservglobal plc specialises in mobile money solutions and value-added services <strong>to</strong> helptelecommunication service providers increase their revenue and gain and maintain cus<strong>to</strong>mer ownership.The Direc<strong>to</strong>rs believe that the company’s mobile money solutions business applications are moreextended than their services in promotions, loyalty, messaging and multiplay.1.12 Direc<strong>to</strong>rs, Senior Management and Organisational StructureThe Group has adopted an organisational structure which provides flexibility and allows for focus on thedevelopment of each different business unit. An executive committee has been formed comprising theFounder, the Chief Executive Officer, the Finance Direc<strong>to</strong>r and three other executives. This committeemeets on a weekly basis <strong>to</strong> moni<strong>to</strong>r and control the Group’s operations and ongoing performance.27
