This year, we plan to spread the solution to external market dedicated sites and to create distribution partnerships online and offline. Until then, foreign customers will get to the product on the website  by using search engines and we hope they will be convinced of the mentioned capabilities by using the product demo versions”, believes Stefan Paun, CEO Advantage Software Factory.

“The specific world market is dominated by complex reporting systems, which have proved to be difficult to understand, while many of the features are under-utilized or avoided due to the system inflexibility, the system adaptability being one of the main needs that users have..
