Quarter in Review
This is an exciting time at Apexon. We have grown tremendously and are eagerly looking to the future. We have expanded our reach to Europe and have repositioned ourselves in the marketplace as a mobile application lifecycle management company.
Expanding Horizons
I’m pleased to announce that we opened a new representative office in London. Our new presence comes in response to the rapidly rising demand for new mobility services in Europe. We have also entered into an exciting, new partnership with Atos, an international IT Services and Solutions company which has a very well established customer base. Strategic partnerships are important to enable innovation and growth and this alliance with Atos will help us to achieve just that.
Atos believes that Apexon brings a lot of domain expertise in mobile testing with homegrown IP, accelerators and state-of-the-art tools. Apexon’s presence in the US market and success in key verticals like banking are key differentiating factors that bring diversity to the services Atos can provide.
With this symbiotic partnership, we will be able to take on the European market.
Innovation
We’ve been exploring the mobile market and have been talking to our customers about their mobile strategy. Based on that feedback, we’ve decided to expand our service offerings in mobility beyond testing. We have decided to become a mobile application lifecycle management company and focus on the entire spectrum of services ranging from development and testing, to sustenance and monitoring.

Events
This was a sensational quarter for all our outbound activity especially events. We attended two very popular testing conferences – the StarWest conference in Anaheim, CA and the EuroStar in Gothenburg, Sweden. We showcased our capabilities in mobile testing and enterprise QA. Our team was energized by the reception they received from both existing customers and new prospects. We specifically demonstrated the capabilities of QMetry 5.5, talked about our ISFW framework and endorsed our QA and Mobile pedigree.
Apexon’s team also demonstrated our new products Attesto, Synchro and Mobile Selenium in real time and received a wide reception from many industry professionals.
We observed that companies are now looking to expand their mobile strategies and are looking for specialized services, especially in the testing arena. With our partner Perfecto by Perforce in attendance, we were able to witness firsthand how effectively our products worked together.
And of course, In October, Apexon hosted its very first European event in London. In attendance were our close partners — Atos and Perfecto by Perforce, enterprise customers — iSOS and Pearson, industry analysts — IDC and Yankee Group. And of course, a lot of potential prospects looking for enterprise mobility solutions. This event provided a platform to formalize our presence in Europe and establish a strong foundation with Atos.
