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outdated and non-integrated solutions.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 />
