Amplexor grows strongly in 2009
Leuven-based ECM specialist sees turnover rise 23% despite the recession, and continues recruiting
Amplexor, which specialises in enterprise content management (ECM), had an outstanding year in 2009. Not only was the Belgian IT company profitable for the fifth year in a row, but in 2009, it also generated turnover of 5,614,000 euro, a rise of 23%. The Leuven-based company emphasises that these are provisional figures, which have not yet been audited. The final figures may differ slightly.
Sustained growth
“2009 was another great year for us”, says Eric Pieters, CEO of Amplexor, “not only did we experience strong growth in our sales, but our profits rose to 245,000 euro. Our company is clearly experiencing sustained growth, even in the current economic situation. In 2009, we did better than anticipated, especially due to a strong 2nd half of the year.”
New recruits
Amplexor continued hiring new people in 2009. Recently, three more developers and a project manager started work at the company, and the ECM specialist is still actively seeking new staff. Eric Pieters: “Due to our continuing growth, we are always looking to strengthen our team. This year too, we have vacancies for both junior and senior developers and for project managers.”
Professionalism, focus and efficiency
“There continues to be steady demand for content management systems”, Eric Pieters continues, “both for web content management and, to a growing extent, to document-centric applications. Enterprise content management is being increasingly seen by many companies as a core part of running their business. Managers see that ECM can make their company much more efficient. Due to our professionalism and focus, we are always seen as a dependable, specialised partner for the award and implementation of this kind of project.”
Content Management
Amplexor specialises in enterprise content management. A few examples of the company’s activities: development of Intranet architectures, the implementation of websites for companies with locations in different countries (multi-country websites), the design and adaptation of collaborative environments (work-flow), document management, search technology, etc.
Amplexor not only specialises in development and maintenance of ECM applications. The consultants at Amplexor also advise on the introduction of ECM within organisations, or the setting-up of information architectures. Eric Pieters concludes: “2010 is also looking very good; we got off to a flying start with a number of major new contracts. We shall definitely be focusing on continuing to expand our consultancy business. I am a contented man.”
