Looking Back
The arrival of a global pandemic and its impact on the capital markets around the world, and on society in general, was unexpected by most of us.
Markets everywhere sustained an extended period of instability as investors and intermediaries struggled to predict winners and losers, both of which there were many.
Policies were applied and large masses of
people were affected; international travel came to a halt and all of the service industries relying on it suffered irreparable damage. For many of us, working from home became the new norm.
As a software vendor, Percival had it relatively easy compared to some; our team in any case works flexible hours and a large proportion of our work for customers can be done remotely.
The Year’s Challenges
The year’s main challenges revolved mainly around helping our customers with theirs.
In addition to the challenges that all customers faced with the pandemic, we have also had to deal with extra support effort because of military conflict, and volcanic
eruptions suddenly complicating CSD and exchange operations, and making delivery of support substantially more complex.
The disappearance of the physical international conference also made our marketing and visibility efforts very difficult.
Goals Achieved
Throughout the year, Percival manage to achieve quite a few objectives.
Despite the pandemic’s restrictions, we took part in several webinars and managed to maintain visibility in the absence of physical conferences and trade shows.
We also managed to extend the features of
our new trading platform be participating in a
project to implement a mobile portal to allow investors to submit and manage orders directly from their handheld devices.
Ongoing work with prospects and marketing has also been promising and we are hoping to be able to make some announcements before the end of this new year.
