P&I <strong>Personal</strong> & <strong>Informatik</strong> Combined Management Report (Group and Cooperation)<br />

Dealings with our existing customers are chiefly taken care of by our Direct Sales<br />

staff working together with our Consulting division.<br />

P&I holds a special position in the HR system providers market: Inbetween the small<br />

“niche players”, who use their software solutions to address specific issues and the<br />

“global players”, who provide complete ERP solutions. The market segment where<br />

P&I is well established and draws most of its customers from is the mid-sized<br />

companies segment, with 250 to 5,000 employees. SAP dominates in the larger<br />

companies segment and various competitors such as s+p, Exact, HANSALOG, Sage,<br />

Varial and VEDA, etc., exist in the small companies segment and P&I is also very well<br />

positioned in this small companies segment as we provide comprehensive, functional<br />

and modern solutions as compared to the majority of our competitors who provide<br />

outdated and non-integrated solutions.<br />

SAP <strong>AG</strong> is virtually the sole competitor in the large companies segment who is<br />

attempting to use the logic of a complete ERP solution in this market segment. P&I<br />

can counter this with its more comprehensive and logical range of functions and its<br />

more competitively priced solution.<br />

Communication and Marketing<br />

In our company publication, "P&I NEWS", which was published four times in fiscal<br />

2010/2011, we reported on various topics relating to personnel issues, current<br />

developments in the world of HR management, presentations of P&I solutions, and<br />

best practice examples from various industry sectors were featured and more than<br />

10,500 copies were printed. The P&I e-newsletter appears weekly and is received by<br />

over 14,000 subscribers and reports on the A to Z of current developments in HR<br />

management - whether labour legislation or supplementary insurance.<br />

We were also extremely successful during the previous year at special exhibitions<br />

and events covering human resources as well as being represented at various<br />

industry events.<br />

Product<br />

Important characteristics of our successful product strategy are our wide range of<br />

products, our HR specialisation, process orientation and our market leadership in<br />

technology as well as the investment protection that we provide for our customers.<br />

P&I provide functional competence based on modern technologies for any industry<br />

and businesses of any size. The target market for P&I is comprised of businesses,<br />

public administration and institutions that require sophisticated software solutions. It is<br />

not just the functionality of our products that impresses everyone, but also the explicit<br />

HR responsibilities. P&I can guarantee its customers increased efficiency and<br />

ongoing productivity initiatives.<br />

What we focus on in our product development, sales activities and implementation of<br />

software solutions is not so much the individual modules involved, but the entire<br />

business process. In line with the Company's strategic orientation as a provider of an<br />

integrated software solution for payroll, time management and HR management, we<br />

offer customers an all-in-one package of services comprising software licences,<br />

maintenance services, consultation and the supply of hardware for time recording and<br />

access control.<br />
