Prior to the onset of the pandemic, we operated with a series of premises and with a certain way of doing business that has been significantly changed in recent months. The new reality, that of the increasingly digital economy, can no longer be challenged by any organization that wants to exist and continue to be relevant in the market that it operates. We believe that the entire IT industry has gained a considerable advantage, as evidenced by the major interest of Romanian companies to access the digitalization funds provided by the government. From another perspective, the contribution of the IT industry to GDP has exceeded the threshold of 7% in 2020, which confirms previous projections. In the coming years, the IT&amp;C industry is expected to contribute with over 10% to GDP.<\/p>\n<p>We have seen in recent months how conversations with our customers have evolved from the idea of &#8220;survival&#8221; to the idea of &#8220;building in the new reality&#8221;, the interest in digital reinvention occupying practically most of the time. Customers are increasingly understanding that investing in technology is a unique opportunity to reinvent themselves and they rethink their plans and budgets for this opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>Each step of digital maturity means better financial performance, the ability to achieve efficiency and operational control and a higher degree of client satisfaction. Therefore, as our customers&#8217; financial results improve, we estimate that their interest will continue to grow, as will the adoption of new technologies.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"kb91\"><button class=\"w-tabs-section-header\" aria-controls=\"content-kb91\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">Operational Transformation of the group<\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/button><div  class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-kb91\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_432d3f53\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Internally, an extremely important project started in 2020 and which we continue in 2021, is the rethinking of business processes and the modeling of IT platforms, in order to adapt to the buying journey of our customers. This allowed for a closer analysis and understanding of how they buy, the steps they take in the buying process and the reasons why they collaborate with one supplier or another. We become aligned with our customers, we increase the value that we can bring to the table, while managing to improve the parameters of operational efficiency (conversion rates from prospects to customers and finally to loyal and recurring customers). Moreover, this approach allows us to attract new customers in a more structured way in the new business reality (\u201clow touch economy\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>For example, more and more customers prefer to be informed in detail by doing individual research on the Internet understanding their problems, then identifying solutions and only in the last phase, interacting with a sales representative from suppliers, reducing the chance of an advisory sale but rather leaning towards a transactional approach that too often translates into fierce price competitiveness. Today, a sales opportunity appears in an area influenced by marketing and only the last step of the transaction involves human interaction. It is just an example that the way we will serve our customers from now on is fundamentally changing and all the organizational changes implemented internally in the last 6 months are in line with this new business reality.<\/p>\n<p>We aim for a profitable, sustainable, and accelerated growth and this can be achieved by focusing on client segments where we already have a high success rate, correlated with a higher percentage of profitability.<\/p>\n<p>Reinventing the business model at the level of each organization, pursuing, and adapting successful models of SaaS companies (subscription based, Software as a Service) has led to multiple changes in the way we prospect new customers, support them, make sure we deliver what they want, and finally, the way we turn them into loyal and recurring customers. The upgrade of IT platforms to track these processes started in 2020 and will continue in 2021, aiming at integration, automation, and the possibility to keep up &#8220;end-to-end&#8221; this market approach.<\/p>\n<p>Starting from here, the changes spread to the marketing team on the adopted priorities and instruments but also to the business development team or even to the emergence of new and dedicated customer success teams.<\/p>\n<p>Increased attention has been paid to attracting and developing human capital by operating in a service business where the value of human capital is essential for medium-term success.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, we rethought the way we attract, recruit and onboard new colleagues so as to increase the degree of belonging to the business values we believe in. Using Equatorial&#8217;s extensive experience, we have started an internal management and leadership academy in 2021, based on which we will build key skills throughout the entire organization by offering career development paths to the best of our colleagues. Without a professionalized middle management structure, accelerated growth cannot be sustained.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc71832394\"><\/a>The changes we mentioned about are intended to prepare the Bittnet group for the coming years and to support the vision of becoming a regional digitalization player for medium-sized companies in the CEE.

We have a vibrant technological ecosystem, in which there are two unicorns, a wide range of talents and a significant percentage of users of digital services. We want to benefit as much as we can from this position, by accelerating M&amp;A processes.<\/p>\n<p>Together with our team of consultants we continue to carry out a sustained activity both locally and at the CEE level to identify organizations relevant to the communicated growth objectives and we hope that by the end of the second quarter we will be able to report new transactions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"of35\"><button class=\"w-tabs-section-header\" aria-controls=\"content-of35\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">Capital market<\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/button><div  class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-of35\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_432d3f53\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>For Bittnet, 2020 marked the end of a decade in which the company grew more than 50 times, becoming the market leader in the most of the segments in which it operates, but also the first IT company listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange.
