Product Portfolio

The Ecosystem Fabasoft PROCECO

The technological basis of the ecosystem is the powerful and certified Fabasoft PROCECO Cloud. This offers companies a secure and scalable environment for the provision and use of Fabasoft PROCECO Solutions.

The Ecosystem Fabasoft PROCECO not only opens up new opportunities for customers, but also accelerates the growth of partners, subsidiaries and affiliates. The Fabasoft Competence and Service Centers support PROCECO partners in the professionalization of their company and offer comprehensive advice and support in all phases of cooperation.

One shared business reality

Customers of Fabasoft PROCECO Solutions benefit from agile products that are focused on their needs, can be implemented and expanded quickly and ensure efficiency and security. The seamless interaction of all PROCECO Solutions creates a common, cross-organizational process and data world for customers ("One Shared Business Reality".). This enables a fast and consistent exchange of information across departments and locations, thereby increasing transparency and decision-making reliability while simultaneously reducing process costs.

The Fabasoft PROCECO Cloud forms the technological basis for the shared process and data world. It meets all the requirements of modern Business Process Management (BPM), Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and Enterprise Records Management (ERM) software and creates the basis for seamless and efficient collaboration within the company and across company boundaries. The powerful feature set, as the basis of Fabasoft PROCECO Solutions, enables organizations of all sizes to optimize their digital business processes and drive digital transformation.

SEAMLESS INFORMATION TRANSFER

The shared process and data world creates a fast and consistent exchange of information across departments and locations. Everyone involved works with the same information and thus benefits from greater transparency and decision-making security. The comprehensive ECM functions of the Fabasoft PROCECO Cloud ensure efficient management, access from any location at any time, and the audit-proof storage of documents. Data is also protected by security technologies such as encryption, authorization concepts and audit trails.

The collaboration and the exchange of documents with internal and external business partners takes place in secure "Teamrooms". Role-based authorizations clearly regulate who can create, edit and view which content.

With the Fabasoft web cloud client and the seamless integration of common office software, users can also edit their documents directly in their familiar working environment. The Cloud folder also enables the synchronization of content stored in the Fabasoft PROCECO Cloud with end devices, so that all participants always have access to the latest version (single source of truth) – whether in the web client or saved locally. Thanks to the mobile apps for iOS and Android, users also benefit from flexible task management. This means that users always have their important documents and tasks to hand, regardless of their location and device.

FULL PROCESS AUTOMATION

The shared process and data world ensures consistent business processes while simultaneously reducing errors and process costs. Companies benefit not only from increased productivity, but also from the ability to model, optimize, automate and monitor processes seamlessly across departmental and company boundaries. The Fabasoft PROCECO Cloud features powerful workflow technology to achieve efficiency and transparency in business processes. Ad-hoc processes and a graphical BPMN 2.0 editor are available to users for creating workflows, enabling them to model business processes even without programming knowledge.

BPMN 2.0 (Business Process Model and Notation) support allows individual business processes to be modelled and the benefits of platform-independent notation to be realized. The process diagrams created are executed directly using the workflow engine. Ad-hoc processes allow users to react flexibly to situations and invite internal or external persons to participate in process steps such as "check", "release" or "approve", etc.

By integrating digital signatures into existing workflows, companies can also design binding processes more efficiently and without media discontinuity. In addition to simple electronic signatures, the Fabasoft PROCECO Cloud offers the option of adding a personal qualified electronic signature to documents. This signature meets the high security standards of the eIDAS Regulation.

EFFICIENT TASK MANAGEMENT

All tasks and process steps from all Fabasoft PROCECO Solutions are summarized in a clearly arranged individual to-do list, the worklist. Additionally, users receive push- and e-mail-notifications about new tasks. These tasks can be processed in a structured manner using a PC, tablet or smartphone. This means that users always have an overview and benefit from the efficient completion of their tasks.

The Fabasoft PROCECO Cloud offers companies a range of innovative ERM functions that ensure protection, availability and integrity of business-critical information. The "Time Travel" function in the Fabasoft PROCECO Cloud, for example, enables documents, metadata or even Teamrooms to be viewed at any points in time in the past. All changes can be tracked at any time and older versions can be restored if required. The "Auditing" function logs all access to objects. It is also possible to automatically add dynamic watermarks to documents. The Fabasoft PROCECO Cloud is suitable for the audit-proof and GoB-compliant storage of documents so that they are equivalent to the paper original in electronic form. This seamless versioning of documents and automatic audit-proof archiving make an important contribution to fulfilling the compliance management system.

INNOVATIVE AI FUNCTIONALITIES

The powerful combination of the Fabasoft PROCECO Cloud and Mindbreeze enables companies to tap into their knowledge, use it effectively and thus improve their decision-making. With the semantic full-text search and the Insight Services, users can find the information they need more quickly and thus make well-founded decisions more efficiently. AI-generated 360-degree views also provide companies with personalized views of relevant information such as customers, projects or products. Mindbreeze InSpire prepares information for specific roles in the company. This gives employees an activity- and role-dependent view, even if they are searching for the same facts. With Large Language Models and Mindbreeze InSpire, companies also receive summaries of facts in natural language. Through the combination of large language models and insight engines (via RAG – Retrieval Augmented Generation), such as Mindbreeze InSpire, companies can guarantee the long-term security of their corporate data. Information is not passed on to third parties or analyzed. The precise and fact-based answers can also be checked at any time using the sources provided.

CONSISTENT USER EXPERIENCE

All Fabasoft PROCECO Solutions are characterized by a uniform functionality and user interface. This enables users to work intuitively and onboard new colleagues quickly. The accessible and responsive user interface enables easy operation and navigation, regardless of previous technical knowledge or language barriers – the Fabasoft PROCECO Cloud is available in 22 different languages.

The complete responsiveness of the Fabasoft PROCECO Cloud ensures a consistent user experience on all end devices. Regardless of whether users are working on a desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone, the Fabasoft PROCECO Cloud automatically adapts to the respective screen size. What is more, the Fabasoft PROCECO Cloud is accessible to all users, regardless of their abilities or limitations. It supports users with visual impairments with both input and display. The web client also enables full keyboard operation and therefore efficient working without a mouse. Support for the WAI-ARIA standard also ensures that the content is recognized and interpreted by screen readers and other aids.

The user interface of the Fabasoft PROCECO Cloud is clearly structured, easy to navigate and self-explanatory. The tree structure and breadcrumbs quickly lead to the desired storage location, even for complex structures. Thanks to comprehensive drag-and-drop functions, users can complete their tasks quickly and easily. Files and entire folder structures can be conveniently imported or downloaded using drag-and-drop. Within the web client, drag-and-drop is used to move documents and folders. In addition, the Fabasoft PROCECO Cloud offers extensive options for adapting the user interface to the customer-specific corporate design to ensure a uniform appearance.

SIMPLE EXTENSION

Fabasoft PROCECO Solutions are easy to expand due to their consistent functionality and user interface. Companies thus benefit from rapid adaptation to their needs. Extensive low-code/no-code functionalities in the Fabasoft PROCECO Cloud ensure simple and individual adaptation of the solutions to the respective company - without any programming knowledge. Intuitive graphical interfaces and modular building blocks enable specialist departments to implement new requirements independently and without additional IT staff.

With user-defined forms, existing objects can be easily extended with individual data fields (e.g. metadata) using drag-and-drop fields. Users can also use low-code expressions to control the behavior or logic of form fields. Intelligent functions such as calculations, field validations and visibility rules are available for the implementation of complex use cases.

Template management enables companies to create and manage individual template and text module collections and make them available for all users. Cloud administrators have control and an overview of all existing and approved templates. In addition, each user has the option of defining personal templates, processes and default settings.

HIGH DATA SECURITY

Both the Fabasoft PROCECO Cloud as the technological basis and the Fabasoft PROCECO Solutions have comprehensive security measures that guarantee the protection of company data at high level. External and internal security analyses as well as audits of the technical, physical and organizational security measures and operating processes contribute significantly to the security of the Fabasoft PROCECO Cloud.

Data is stored in European data centers, optionally in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. Access to user data is authorized via Teamrooms. For each Teamroom access rights can be assigned to team members. These access rights are taken into account when searching for user data. This means that only those hits are displayed which the respective user is authorized to access.

Authentication during login is always carried out using secure authentication methods, such as two-factor authentication. This creates a protected and trustworthy working environment. The Fabasoft PROCECO Cloud also enables login via digital certificates, single sign-on via Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) or SAML 2.0, so that users can log in to the Cloud without having to enter an additional login and password.

The Fabasoft Secomo appliance enables secure end-to-end encryption for the Fabasoft PROCECO Cloud. End-toend encryption protects the documents at the workstation or on the mobile device. The keys remain exclusively with the appliance operator. The keys are protected with a hardware security module (HSM) that meets the requirements of FIPS 140-2 Level 4. Fabasoft Secomo can also be used in combination with the Fabasoft PROCECO Cloud to store company certificates for the legally compliant digital signature of PDF documents.

INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT

With Fabasoft app.ducx, developers can intuitively create object models, methods, user interfaces, processes, access authorizations, etc. in domain-specific languages.

Fabasoft app.test is the tool for the functional automation of software tests in the Fabasoft PROCECO Cloud. During test automation, Fabasoft app.test ensures that the software is tested in the same way that real users use the application, namely by actually interacting with the user interface in the web browser. The tests can be recorded either via a tree view of the user interface or via a click recorder and then executed locally at the workstation.

Fabasoft app.telemetry provides the ideal basis for service level management and user support by monitoring the availability and response time behavior of applications. The product tracks the transactions triggered by requests, maps their path through the hardware and software infrastructure and thus makes it possible to analyze the execution in Fabasoft products and in instrumented third-party products. With this information, the DevOps and support teams can quickly identify time-critical or conspicuous sequences and components and take appropriate measures. The functions for monitoring the availability of extensive services or individual workflows round off the support for operating processes.

Outlook

Transformation of the business

In line with a general trend in the software industry, the Fabasoft Group's software product business continues to undergo a transformation process: the use of software products is shifting from the model of acquiring usage rights for these products against an one-off fee, usually combined with a service contract, towards an ongoing monthly usage fee for cloud services, SaaS offerings and/or appliances.

This transformation process is currently progressing differently depending on the target markets: in public tenders, purchase models are still predominantly demanded for software. The customer then often operates the software in its own data centers with the support of Fabasoft. However, Fabasoft is increasingly supporting its customers in the transformation of their IT infrastructure to become cloud-native. Private customers are particularly interested in cloud solutions. If required, the flexibility of the Fabasoft product portfolio continues to support on-premises projects as well as hybrid model variants.

In terms of sales, Fabasoft continues to strive to supplement the direct sales model with an indirect, partner-oriented, international sales and marketing model, particularly for Fabasoft PROCECO Solutions and Mindbreeze InSpire.

The Fabasoft Group, which successfully implements the core topics of digital change with its comprehensive and tried-and-tested range of products and services, will continue to be well positioned in a difficult market environment characterized by global political and economic upheaval.

The Fabasoft Ecosystems for digital business processes

In line with the trend towards digital transformation, the focus remains on further developing and expanding the Fabasoft Ecosystems for internal and cross-company business processes. Increasing the market presence of existing and future solutions and their visibility in the individual target markets remain key tasks. Fabasoft will continue to focus on standardization and rapid usability in order to meet customer requirements for immediately usable solutions.

Applications of artificial intelligence

IT trends are characterized by AI application solutions. The biggest challenge in a society and economy shaped by algorithms will be to underpin artificial intelligence ethically – with humans at the center – and to make its decision-making explainable. In December 2023, the European Union was the first major economic area to create and progressively implement a reliable framework for the use of artificial intelligence with a proposed regulation to establish harmonized rules for AI systems.

Fabasoft will support its customers in two directions in particular. Firstly, by increasing the degree of automation in those business processes in which sufficient training material is available for AI to be able to extract sufficient semantics and assign documents, thereby counteracting the ongoing labor shortage.

The second approach is to utilize the linguistic competence of generative AI. Retrieval Augmentation Generation (RAG) offers the possibility of optimizing the output of the Large Language Model (LLM) used with specific information. In order to provide reliable answers, it is necessary to supply the model with current and valid company data. With the help of insight engines such as Mindbreeze and the use of RAG, LLM are able to provide context-related and specific answers to queries more quickly.

Investments in growth measures

In order to continue the Fabasoft Group's growth path, the investment focus for the remainder of the 2024/2025 fiscal year will be on product innovation, AI (including the expansion of AI capacities in the data centers), strengthening sales and marketing as well as attracting new talent to take advantage of future opportunities.

Fabasoft will continue to invest in the development, distribution and marketing of content-focused solutions based on the Fabasoft Ecosystems. In addition to entrepreneurial organic growth opportunities, inorganic options will continue to be evaluated and pursued.

SAP forms the financial backbone of the Fabasoft Group, just as it does for our customers. Fabasoft is switching from SAP R/3 to SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud and SAP SuccessFactors for all Group companies in order to continue its growth and further standardize and professionalize its Group-wide financial processes. As part of this greenfield project, all financial processes are being rethought and the document-centric business processes in Fabasoft PROCECO Solutions are being integrated with SAP across the board. By consistently using the possibilities offered by the AI of the Fabasoft PROCECO Cloud and the automation potential in the SAP Cloud, the aim is to increase the efficiency of digital processes and offer users an even higher level of support, for example through the SAP Analytics Cloud, in their decision-making.

Another focus is on establishing and expanding successful international partner infrastructures for the Fabasoft Ecosystems. This would involve considerable upfront investments, particularly in international marketing, supraregional presence, partner support and personnel expansion.

These investments, expansion and growth measures as well as the increase in personnel costs due to the recruitment of new talent and inflation-related salary increases (collective agreement) will continue to impact the profitability of the Fabasoft Group in the further course of the 2024/2025 fiscal year. Furthermore, the focus on topics that are considered future-oriented and sustainable will be given priority over short-term profitability considerations where necessary.

The following standards and interpretations were adopted or amended by 30 June 2024 and are mandatory for the 2024/2025 fiscal year:

Should the specific performance indicators fall short of the targets after 31 March 2027 no earn-out payment is made.

The defined performance indicators were achieved in the 2023/2024 fiscal year, for this reason part of the earn-out component amounting to kEUR 400 was paid out in the first quarter of 2024/2025 fiscal year.

In order to take account of the general trend in the software industry in the reporting – namely the transformation process away from the model of purchasing rights of use against an one-off fee and in the direction of an ongoing monthly usage fee – a breakdown of sales by recurring revenue from ongoing obligations with varying terms or residual terms (recurring revenue) and sales not based on ongoing obligations (non-recurring revenue) follows.

Breakdown of sales by type of contract:

in kEUR April – June 2024 April – June 2023
Recurring revenue 11,658 10,495
Non-recurring revenue 8,776 9,196
thereof software 425 244
thereof professional services 8,351 8,952
Total 20,434 19,691

Recurring revenue includes in particular software updates, fees for right of use for Mindbreeze InSpire, Fabasoft PROCECO Solutions and recurring professional services (e.g. for support and operation management).

Non-recurring revenue includes one-off licenses (software) and sales of consulting services (professional services).

Mag.a Birgit Fallmann, wife of Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Helmut Fallmann, employee of Fabasoft AG (continuous emoluments kEUR 16, corresponding period of the previous year kEUR 16).

There are no further business relationships with other affiliated companies and employees in the first three months of the 2024/2025 fiscal year.

6.2. Direct and indirect impacts of the macroeconomic and geopolticial enviroment

Fabasoft does not operate any subsidiaries or branches in Ukraine, the Russian Federation, in Belarus or in Israel, nor does it procure relevant development services from any of these countries. Likewise, there is no relevant end customer or partner business in any of the aforementioned countries. The impact of the armed conflicts and the associated sanctions against Russia and similar measures on the company's customers and partners, for example by impairing supply chains, the overall economic climate, public budgets, etc., and thus possibly subsequently on the company's business, cannot currently be estimated. The increased risk of cyber attacks or other attacks on critical infrastructures cannot be quantified either. Inflation-related effects and the changing interest rate level are included in the general risk assessment and are taken into account accordingly in the relevant business processes.

6.3. Climate related risks and opportunities of the Fabasoft Group

The Fabasoft Group is fully aware of its role and responsibility with regard to climate change and is clearly committed to regularly collecting and actively managing its climate-related risks and opportunities taking into consideration the recommendations of the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures).

The assessment of the residual risk for all identified climate-related risks and opportunities is below the materiality threshold defined internally, so that the overall impact on the business model, income statement and balance sheet of the Fabasoft Group are classified as immaterial.

6.4. Events after the balance sheet date

No significant events in respect of this interim financial statement occurred after 30 June 2024.

REPORT ON THE REVIEW OF THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Fabasoft AG, Linz, for the period from 1 April 2024 to 30 June 2024. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements comprise the consolidated interim balance sheet as of 30 June 2024 and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated cashflow statement and the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the period from 1 April 2024 to 30 June 2024 and the condensed notes, summarizing the significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.

Management is responsible for the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS's) for Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed consolidated interim financial and third parties. Our liability towards the Company and towards third parties is limited in accordance with Section 275 (2) of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB).

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with Austrian Standards for Chartered Accountants, in particular in compliance with KFS/PG 11 "Principles of Engagements to Review Financial Statements", and with the International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE 2410) "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity".

A review of interim financial statements is limited primarily to making inquiries, primarily of Company personnel, responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Austrian Standards on Auditing or International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing came to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS's) for Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU.

Future-related and other statements:

This report contains data which relate to expected future developments. These forward-looking statements are normally but not exclusively paraphrased with words such as "expect", "assume", "plan" etc. If these assumptions on which the statements have been based do not prove true or if risks materialise – such as those mentioned for example in the issue prospectus or in the risk report or if the current situation changes in the future, the actual results may deviate from the result expected at present. The forward-looking statements assert no claim to correctness or completeness, are not updated and should therefore be treated with all due caution.

This report has been complied with the highest degree of diligence and all data published have been checked. Rounding, typesetting and printing errors cannot be excluded, however. The addition of rounded amounts and percentages may result in differences in figures calculated due to use of automatic calculation aids. The translation of the original German version of the report has been included for the convenience of our English-speaking shareholders. The German version is authoritative.
