An auxiliary of the first unit offshore, this office has five key objectives:

1. To provide techical solutions and services for the Romanian market,
2. To increase the production capacity of the offshore projects,
3. To have at its disposal a reception office close to the airport, for the spot projects or for the ones that require the client's presence,
4. To have at its disposal an equipped center with multiple and redundant providers for long-distance services, including a high-degree availability (tele-administration, tele-infomanagement, tele-production...),
5. To provide a pole of functional expertise, both internal and in partnership.

To sum up, Pentalog High Tech has now three French agencies, two cost axis and two infrastructure axis, in order to offer its clients the most suitable solutions for their needs.

Let us recall that in 2004 Pentalog High Tech will double its Romanian turnover, which will represent 30% of the Group global turnover.

This increase, if continuous, will be far greater than our expectations (+2,5 predicted for 2004) and not the same as our objectives. Nevertheless, it confirms the healthy paths chosen by the company.

The figures revealed a 4,5% increase in the activity of the French agencies, while the growth of the Business Unit Offshore (Romania) is established at about 29%, contributing greatly to the global growth.

The company starts to gain revenues from its CRM Center offer, which enables the clients to benefit from the applications of the iNet range in ASP mode, to rely on the services of his web designers on the offshore website, to track the visites on the website in relation to the commercial databases of the company, on the call-back services connected to the clients' visites on the website, on the database management. This offer is supported by foreign investments, which make it highly competitive.

Among the new clients, we mention the arrival of Sud Ouest Group, for which Pentalog High Tech develops a software for the administration of rotary printing activities. Pentalog also strengthens its position with many clients like Cogestib, SNT Vitalicom, Loxam - which are fast-growing clients.

Pentalog High Tech has also signed a Silver partnership contract with Business Objects (world leader in the Business Intelligence software industry). As a result, Pentalog High Tech becomes the only BO partner in Region Centre and the second in Aquitaine.

This contract extends the commercial capabilities of Pentalog on this activity branch and brings to strength the long-time service relationships developed with France Telecom, Orange, Vivendi Telecom International, Vitalicom (groupe SNT)... Pentalog, now able to resell the products of the editing leader, has a global capacity in terms of providing solutions in the Decision Making area.

Together with Oracle and Microsoft, this contract enriches the list of strategical technologic partners of the company.

This offer of CRM services, located between Brasov (Romania) and Paris for the Data Center  includes :

Pentalog High Tech has been a provider of BO services to its clients for over 7 years and claims numerous references on the subject: Kencell Communication Ltd (Group Vivendi from Kenya), France Telecom Branche Entreprises, Orange, Loxam, Vitalicom (Group SNT), but also Maroc Telecom in partenership with Steria. The consultants from Pentalog have also accompanied BO in the banking industries and in the business of musical editing.

Pentalog High Tech has nowadays global competences on the Business Objects range and is determined to convince the enterprises from the regions Centre and Aquitaine, as well as from Paris, to take advantage from the skills of its team, but also from the conditions of selling the licences, offered by this new statute.
From today on, Pentalog High Tech opens its order book of BO licences with Vitalicom (Group SNT, from Blois), which realises in this period a BO test project to replace its ancient tools of decisional analysis. Pentalog High Tech has been a supplier of decisional analysis tools for Vitalicom-Group SNT since February 2003

In June 2003, Frédéric Lasnier, Chairman of Pentalog was invited by the University of Orléans to teach a Project Management course, in English, intended for the foreign students or French professionals who already had university degrees.

This 24 hour module will approach the management of the change, the role of a project leader and a project sponsor, the management of competences, of time, of international resources and legal systems, of communication both intra and inter-project. The students will be also taught the crisis management.

This lecture will be accompanied, for each of the 4 to 6 hour meetings, of workshops on projects implying an European or international dimension. Each project will be led by a project manager.
Let us emphasize that Frédéric Lasnier, like many Pentaloguiens, has been a graduate of the University of Orléans; where he is now a lecturer in Marketing Technologies.

Indeed, the scheme of a durable performance seems to be strongly funded:

- during the year 2003, our fees have recorded a 7% drop (the average is about 13% in EC). Our clients benefit of this movement.
- the number of production days increased by 6%
- the marketing and sales cost increased by 3% when turnover recorded 20% growth
- constant number of consultancy people
- salary growth

This performance has to be appreciated in an unknown IT crisis context (-8% for the IT sevices in the EC).

Our figures are strongly linked to the continuous improvement of our Offshore Business Unit (Romania) which contributes up to 30% to the net result. Its growth rate is expected to reach 100% for year 2004.

About Q4 , our growth is about 5% (in comparison with Q4 2002). Our activity has been continuously inforced by international markets (Belgium, Spain, Bulgaria).

The recorded sales for 2004 cover about 40% of the year and the breakeven point is secured for the next 6 months.
