APRIL EDITION
After winning the Taylor and Francis RFP in February, the sales momentum is really picking up. We have since
won other contracts – AIP (American Institute of Physicists) and APS (American Physical Society)- not large but
INDIA OPS/ E-PUBLISHING Press) and for which we need to bid by the end of April. Our sales target is stiff for next year – 50% greater than
which adds to the sales goals. There are three more RFPs that we are attending to (including Oxford University
2018, and every bit counts.
The annual trade show – Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP) – is being held in Chicago this time end of May, and
we’ve taken a booth to showcase all the tools that we have developed. BoardShare tools will also be on display. We
need to make this a super success.
On the India operations side, the integration of Katalyst Pune and Nova Techset is nearing completion, barring a
few stray processes. In the mean-time with the acquisition of Panacea Technology, another integration need to be
done, and which will be completed by end May.
