CENIT Starts 2011 with Good 1st Quarter
CENIT is starting the business year with clear on-year growth in all segments and is thus continuing the positive trend set last year. Sales of CENIT’s proprietary software as well as sales proceeds from non-CENIT software increased markedly. The consulting segment has also registered a slightly positive trend. Provided that economic recovery and positive industry sentiment continue to set the tone, we hope to be able to close the coming Quarters with solid growth as well.
