— Have you felt an increased competition from foreign players since Bulgaria’s accession to the EU?<\/STRONG><\/P>
— Since Bulgaria entered the EU, and the Bulgarian IT market stabilized and grew, especially during the last year, our market became attractive to foreign players. For the moment they have not established their local offices, but we feel their "incursions" from abroad. And this will probably continue. Nevertheless, with the EU acquisition of Bulgaria, we observe a decrease in the local grey market and we have expanded our customer base with many customers who maybe worked in the grey sector before coming to the official market as our customers. So, generally speaking, our EU entry has had a positive effect on our business.
— What market trends do you observe and what are your development plans?<\/STRONG><\/P>
— The most noted market tendencies are the development of the mobile PC market and the retail-oriented product lines. We plan to expand the sales channels, and to move away from the classical schemes of distribution by developing B2C and other business channels. Additionally, we plan to grow by adding new product lines to our portfolio.<\/P>
