Audited Results of INVL Technology for 2019, Also Management’s Comment Regarding the Impact of the Coronavirus (covid–19)

Published

on

As of 31 December 2019, INVL Technology’s equity amounted to EUR 28.96 million or EUR 2.38 per share.The net audited profit of the company in 2019 amounted to EUR 933 thousand.Additional information:The equity of INVL Technology, a company that invests in IT businesses, was EUR 29 million at the end of 2019, or EUR 2.38 per share. The latter figure increased 3.3% during the year. The value of the company’s financial assets at the end of the reporting period was EUR 25.9 million and increased EUR 1.7 million during the year. Audited net profit for 2019, including revaluation of financial assets, was EUR 0.9 million, and compared with 2018 decreased 77.9%.The aggregated revenues of the businesses INVL Technology owns increased 6% in 2019 to EUR 34.5 million (from EUR 32.6 million in 2018), while aggregate EBITDA was EUR 2.26 million (the previous year’s EBITDA figure is not directly comparable due to a change of accounting principles in 2019).“We seek to grow the value of the assets we hold, which is why last year we gave attention to the consolidation of businesses, structural reorganization and the development of proprietary products. That required one-off costs in the reporting period but over the long term will have a positive impact,” said Kazimieras Tonkūnas, INVL Technology’s managing partner.In late 2019, completion of the reorganization of the Novian group put fully in place a structure –under formation since 2018– of three business directions at INVL Technology: business climate improvement and e-governance, IT services and software, and cybersecurity. Moreover, the owned businesses have increased their share of revenue earned abroad in recent years. In 2018, more than a third of the companies’ revenues was in foreign countries, and last year 44 percent of their revenue was obtained from projects in 47 countries.The new structure of the Novian IT services and software group will make it possible to offer clients comprehensive digital transformation projects, high-performance computing technologies and their application, and artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technologies. In addition, the acquisition of the Norwegian company Zissor through Novian in April 2019 enlarged the portfolio of services offered by Novian’s companies along with opportunities for growth in Norway and the broader Nordic region as well as the UK. Norway Registers Development AS, which works in the area of business climate improvement and e-governance, in 2019 established a management consulting unit. The group strengthened its centralized sales and marketing capacity, reorganized and simplified its geographical business model, centralized financial management and administration, and broadened its product offering and areas of expertise.The cybersecurity firm NRD CS in 2019 developed and enhanced proprietary products and continuous cybersecurity monitoring services. Since 2018, the company has been conducting two research and product development projects with a value of EUR 2.1 million partially financed by European Union funds.In 2020, INVL Technology plans to conduct acquisitions in the Baltic and Nordic countries through the businesses it owns. The company this year will optimize business holding structures and reorganize financial management and control.“It is projected that the consolidation and structural reorganization of INVL Technology’s companies and outlays to develop proprietary products will generate significate revenue and value growth starting in 2021,” Kazimieras Tonkūnas said.Possible impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the company’s operations assessedAssessing the outlook for 2020, the company published a comment on the potential impact of the coronavirus pandemic. INVL Technology assesses its potential impact on the company’s activities over the short and medium term as slightly negative. The drop in value on world markets recently of information technology companies active in the private and public sectors has been among the smallest of all industries and the value of some companies has even increased. Therefore INVL Technology, from the information it possesses, is unable to forecast what the long-term impact on the value of its shares will be.The customers of the businesses owned are public and financial institutions, banks, large utility companies and retail chains. It is considered that their activity is important and, therefore, likely to be continued also under conditions of quarantine and restricted travel. Agreements signed by the owned businesses suggest that operations without interruptions can be planned for the next several months.Working conditions of quarantine and limited mobility have strengthened the short-term need for digitization and cybersecurity services worldwide. That may also increase the long-term need for IT services and products.All of INVL Technology’s businesses currently are prioritizing the safety of their employees and customers, thus most employees are working and serving customers remotely. Working under the conditions of quarantine is not expected to have a material impact on the businesses which are owned, since most of them performed remote work and projects prior to the crisis as well. Working remotely might, however, mean that some of the owned businesses’ projects abroad will take longer to complete.Despite the potentially positive developments, there is a chance that IT companies serving sectors impacted by the coronavirus may reorient in the second half of the year and increase competition in areas that are relevant to INVL Technology’s businesses. Liquidity problems may arise due to longer settlement terms.Assessing the financial condition of the owned businesses, their external debt level is low. The value of assets under management may be reduced at present and the company plans to realise them by 2026. If circumstances change or consequences become clearer, the company will provide separate notification.18 business holdings active in three business directionsINVL Technology’s companies operate in three directions. Operating in the area of business climate improvement and e-governance is the Norwegian company NRD Companies AS with its subsidiaries: Norway Registers Development AS of Norway with a Lithuanian subsidiary, NRD Systems UAB and Etronika UAB of Lithuania, Norway Registers Development East Africa Ltd in Tanzania, Norway Registers Development Rwanda Ltd in Rwanda, NRD Bangladesh Ltd in Bangladesh, and the associate company Infobank Uganda Ltd in Uganda.Working in the area of IT services and software is the Lithuanian company Novian UAB with its subsidiaries: Zissor AS of Norway, BAIP UAB of Lithuania with its subsidiaries Andmevara Services OU in Estonia and Andmevara SRL in Moldova, and Algoritmu Sistemos UAB of Lithuania with its controlled companies Acena UAB in Lithuania and Andmevara AS in Estonia.

TRENDS INFLUENCING THE GROWTH OF THE GLOBAL EMPLOYEE BACKGROUND CHECK SOFTWARE MARKET:
Cloud-based background check software is gaining traction due to its scalability, remote access, and cost-effectiveness. With cloud-based systems, businesses can streamline their hiring processes, particularly when operating across multiple locations. The ability to access data and conduct checks in real-time is highly valuable for organizations managing large workforces or remote employees. The flexibility and lower upfront investment of cloud-based solutions make them popular among businesses seeking efficient and adaptable systems for their recruitment processes.
On-premises solutions remain important for organizations with strict security and data control requirements, such as those in government, defense, or finance. These companies often need complete ownership of their data, which on-premises software offers, reducing the risk of external breaches. Although it requires significant upfront investment and maintenance, on-premises software provides a high level of customization and security. It’s especially useful for businesses dealing with sensitive information and industries where compliance with local data protection laws is critical.
Large enterprises, particularly those operating in regulated industries like banking and healthcare, are the major adopters of employee background check software. These organizations deal with large volumes of hires, making streamlined background checks essential for compliance and operational efficiency. The ability to integrate background check systems with existing HR tools, such as applicant tracking systems, allows large companies to manage their recruitment processes more effectively. The need for comprehensive and accurate background checks is crucial for mitigating risk and ensuring legal compliance.
The rise in remote working has increased the demand for background check software that allows companies to vet employees regardless of their location. Digital background checks, particularly cloud-based ones, make it easier for organizations to screen remote workers efficiently. This trend is expected to continue as more companies adopt hybrid or fully remote work models, where geographical barriers no longer restrict talent acquisition but require thorough and remote-friendly verification processes.
As regulatory frameworks for employment practices become more stringent globally, businesses are increasingly relying on background check software to ensure compliance. Laws like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) in the U.S. have made it mandatory for companies to conduct background checks within specific legal parameters. This has led to increased demand for software solutions that can automate these processes while maintaining compliance with regional and international laws.
A major trend in the employee background check software market is the integration of these solutions with human resources management systems (HRMS). Integrating background checks with HR software streamlines the hiring process by consolidating background checks, employee records, and onboarding into one system. This improves operational efficiency for businesses, particularly large enterprises that handle significant recruitment volumes. Integration with HRMS allows for real-time updates, making background screening an even more integral part of the hiring process.

on

shang-haifeng-from-huawei-cloud:-building-a-resilient,-intelligent-hybrid-cloud-and-taking-an-intelligence-leap

SHANGHAI, Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Hybrid Cloud Infra Forum 2024, with the theme, “Dive into Cloud and Leap to a New Horizon”, convened at HUAWEI CONNECT 2024 today. At the event, Shang Haifeng, CEO of Huawei Mainframe Modernization BU and President of Huawei Hybrid Cloud, announced the launch of Huawei Cloud Stack 8.5. The new version introduces a new solution, Mainframe-to-Cloud Solution, and includes more use cases for Hybrid Cloud for Large AI Models.

Jacqueline Shi, President of Huawei Cloud Global Marketing and Sales Service, stated in her opening speech: “Thanks to the strong support from our customers, Huawei Cloud’s hybrid cloud business has been continuously expanding in the global market. An increasing number of customers from sectors, such as government, finance, education, healthcare, transportation, mining, and power have joined forces with Huawei Cloud to drive innovation. Huawei Cloud Stack synchronizes a wide array of services from the Huawei public cloud and can be deployed on-premises, breaking through technological barriers and meeting customer demands. With leading technologies, a mature platform, and a robust local ecosystem, we provide our customers with cutting-edge, scenario-specific solutions. Looking ahead, Huawei Cloud looks forward to continuing our collaboration with customers to develop superior hybrid cloud solutions and embark on the digital transformation journey together.”
Today, hybrid cloud has become the preferred foundation for digital transformation of government organizations and large enterprises. Huawei Cloud has been continuously investing in R&D, committed to providing government and enterprise customers with a sustainable and optimal hybrid cloud foundation.
Shang Haifeng said: “Cloud transformation of core systems and intelligent production have become the twin pillars for government and enterprise customers diving into cloud. Huawei Cloud Stack will innovate in resilience and intelligence, elevating the hybrid cloud to a new horizon and helping customers move faster to take a smart, digital leap.”
A New Horizon of Resilience: Creating a New Mainframe-to-Cloud Benchmark
As industries have been accelerating cloud adoption, the migration of core systems to the cloud represents the final piece of the all-cloud puzzle. It is a gateway to comprehensive intelligence. However, this migration poses many challenges, spanning hardware, software, security, O&M, optimization, and tools. It is an end-to-end comprehensive project that requires software-hardware synergy.
This year, Huawei established a Mainframe Modernization BU, consolidating core R&D strengths across compute, storage, network, cloud, and the Central Research Institute to drive systematic innovation. This initiative aims to fully exploit the power of software-hardware synergy to overcome the world-class challenge of mainframe migration to cloud. They have been persistent in developing an independent and innovative technology system to ensure an ongoing supply of core technologies. The team has been stepping up efforts to develop comprehensive system engineering capabilities, from infrastructure and implementation processes to O&M, aiming to establish new core systems on the cloud.
The Mainframe-to-Cloud Solution from Huawei provides comprehensive disaster recovery (DR) for all scenarios, supports modular application deployment, and enables multi-site multi-active DR, satisfying a spectrum of availability requirements. It supports hardware fault detection in seconds, which makes O&M for large-scale clusters more efficient. The application-centric end-to-end visibility speeds up fault identification and troubleshooting. Seamless cloud OS upgrades enable the parallel upgrade of hundreds of nodes without VM migration, and without any service interruptions.
Huawei maximizes the synergy between software and hardware. Hardware NIC virtualization passthrough and the multi-core lock-free design reduce the latency of a single forward for load balancing by 83% and increase the forwarding bandwidth of a single cluster to 400 Gbit/s. Passthrough networking simplifies the network from two layers to just one, which reduces latency by 40%. Moreover, the fusion of the RoCE network and NoF+ protocol slashes end-to-end storage latency by 50%. All of these enable unparalleled performance and superior experiences.
In terms of security, GaussDB, a fully-encrypted database, and Kunpeng Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) safeguard against data breaches and minimize performance degradation, keeping it within 20%.
Shang Haifeng expressed that Huawei aspires to set new trustworthiness standards for mainframe-to-cloud migration through innovation in foundational technologies and experience consolidation. Huawei aims to take the resilience of core systems to a new horizon and provide a better choice for the world.
