Tornado’s new strategy led to 40% increase in sales in December 2007

“December 2007 was the most successful month in Tornado’s history,” according to a statement for Business Standard by the company’s Executive Manager, Gerald Maier, who took over Tornado Sistems management in September 2007.

“I made the company’s organization very simple, in the sense that I divided it in two, one company handling only services, and client relations, while the other handles sales,” added Maier. Tornado Sistems Executive Manager explained that the service division does not generate major income.

Last year income was €105 million, and the company estimates €130 mln in turnover in 2008.

“The IT&C market will not register higher growth than it did last year. The evolution in 2007 was excellent, and this cannot go on indefinitely. The market is in the process of consolidation, which means that not only Tornado is considering how it will position itself on the market and what sort of strategy to develop in this sense, but also other companies must take this into account,” Maier added.
