Fading hopes for a turnaround in Macrosoft's 2005 fortunes

"Unless the situation on the market improves, it may be difficult to repeat last year results, or to improve them. There is no investment boom among SMEs which were our clients in 2004. This was related to the pre EU accession boom and available aid programs," said Sławomir Kosz, president of Macrosoft. In his opinion, an increase in the expenditures of companies on IT should be expected at the end of 2005 or at the beginning of 2006. He went on to say that Macrosoft has chances of acquiring twice more clients than in 2004, which will allow the company to strengthen its 6% share in the SME market. "We are in talks about taking over two companies with an annual turnover of a few million złoty," said the president. (Parkiet, p. 5) M.M.
