---------------------------------------------------------------------
- Two major companies opt for GK Software solutions in the USA
Two major companies in the USA opted to use GK Software solutions during
the first quarter of 2015. These firms operate in the fashion/sports and
specialist retail sectors. This will involve equipping approx. 3,200 stores
with solutions from GK Software in future.
The license revenues will form part of the planned goals for the 2015
business year. The Management Board is therefore standing by its forecast
to further enhance turnover and improve profitability at the same time.
