CEYONIQ is growing markedly faster than the market and is ideally positioned
with its visionary and trend-setting corporate policy even in the aspiring
market segments of Knowledge Management and Portal Technology. The acquisition
of TREEV has opened the strategically important US market.
CEYONIQ is expecting another year of success for 2001 against the background of
a positive business growth on the part of the American subsidiary, significant
product innovations and the international expansion of successful distribution
concepts.
In May 2001, CEYONIQ GmbH, Vienna, received an order amounting to millions from
its new customer Wüstenrot Austria for an enterprise-wide DMS- and Archive
Systeme. CEYONIQ strengthened its leading position in the insurance industry and
intensified its position as a worldwide leading provider in the expanding
market of innovative Content, Document and Archive Management systems and gained
even greater success in its internationalisation strategy.
