Business Update Robust Business Model 24SevenOffice’s revenue is based on recurring revenue in all business segments and is less dependent on new sales than the rest of the IT market. All services delivered in all segments are in the outsourcing industry, which is predicted to benefit in economic recession as companies try to find ways to save expenses. The negative impact in today’s market is an increased number of bankruptcies among existing customers and an increase in downgrades of number of users on customer contracts due to general employee reductions among SMBs. Consolidation and Synergies The focus going forward is to integrate the acquired businesses in order to realise synergies of cross-sales, know-how, technology, administration, costs and routines. Cost Reduction Program The company introduced a cost reduction program in 4Q08. Main focus has been to consolidate acquired business units, centralize and close down small departments outside major cities. The cost reduction program has now achieved full effect, but the company continues its focus on cost efficiency. About 24SevenOffice ASA Group 24SevenOffice has three independent business units, with significant synergy to each other and with services to the same customer segments: small and medium-sized businesses (5 - 300 employees). Customers are mainly small businesses (5 - 30 employees) in all sectors and medium-sized enterprises (30 - 300 employees) in the market segments: business knowledge and service industries. The business units are:
1. IT business solution with a complete system portfolio of ERP, CRM, project and collaboration tools to the SMB market delivered as "Software as a Service" (SaaS).
2. Telecom solution delivered as an Internet service (SaaS). Includes switchboard services and IP telephony value-added services, through integration with the company's business solution. In addition, the unit offers mobile telephony solutions with value-added.
3. Accounting and payroll services, including financial advisory services for the SMB market. We offer accounting services for the Norwegian and Swedish market, currently employing about 45 accountants.
24SevenOffice ASA 3Q09
All solutions and applications are SaaS based. SaaS technology (also described by the term "Cloud Computing") gives you access to all applications and services through the web browser, and hence there is no need to invest in expensive hardware or software licenses. The business model is lease-based service agreements. 90% of the company's revenue is recurring income from one year to the next, and the company's future earnings is, therefore, more predictable and secure than other software and IT service providers who are dependent on significant new sales of licenses and development projects to achieve profitability. We have more than 10 years of experience of delivering SaaS applications over the Internet, and our combination of SaaS-technology, system portfolio and the integration of Internet services to the SMB market make us the leading company in Europe in our segment. Software as a Service (SaaS) SaaS is short for Software as a Service and is the term used for software where an application is hosted as a service provided to customers across the Internet through the web browser. This delivery model eliminates the need to install and run the application on the customer's own computers and servers, thus freeing resources normally used to software maintenance, ongoing operation, it-consultants, and support. Using SaaS also reduce the up-front expenses and capital investments of software purchases, through less costly, on-demand and pay-as-you-go pricing where the customer pay a fixed monthly fee per user per month. IDC analytics predicts that:
• The SaaS market will increase by 27 % annually during the next four years, contrary to traditional local software installations which are predicted to grow by only 4 % annually during the same period.
• Enterprise resource planning applications (ERP) represented 55 % of the total SaaS market in 2008 and are predicted to share an equal share in 2012.
• The global SaaS market revenue was 9 billion USD in 2008 and is predicted to grow to 23 billion USD in 2012
Gartner analytics predicts that:
• Approximately 65% of all European companies has started to use at least one SaaS application by 2010
• SaaS will be a common part of companies’ IT architecture by 2010 • SaaS usage will double for small and medium sized companies by 2010 • Dedicated costs to SaaS will increase more than 25% annually • 30% of all new software in the business market will be delivered as SaaS by 2012

) are two well known SaaS companies based in USA. NetSuite is the first and largest SaaS based integrated CRM and ERP system and listed at the New York Stock Exchange.

for useful reports, etc on SaaS.
Peer Comparison 24SevenOffice, Netsuite and Salesforce are compared on valuation based on price/sales and growth rate year over year. The comparison is based on latest published quarterly results. Salesforce results are from quarter ended August 20 2009, Netsuite results are from 2Q09 and 24SevenOffice results are from 3Q09.
Quarterly results are multiplied with 4 to estimate comparable yearly sales for each company. Valuation is based on market cap Aug. 13. 2009 divided by estimated sales. USD exchange rate is based on rates NOK=USD Aug. 13. 2009. Growth is measured year over year with same quarter last year. There are many factors influencing a company’s valuation. Estimated valuation based on price / sales and growth shows significant differences between 24SevenOffice and the two main competitors in the SaaS industry. Financial Calendar 24SevenOffice will present its 4Q09 figures on February 18th 2010.
