"Techstep continues to deliver revenue growth. The potential value of contracts

signed in the first half of 2019 has surpassed half a billion Norwegian kroner,

and we are building a foundation to create value through solutions driven sales.

We see an increasing number of customers opting for combined solutions and MaaS.

We expect the enterprise market for managed mobility services to continue to

grow in the years ahead.

"We have decided to focus our operations in Norway on larger customers, where we

make the largest impact. As a consequence, we terminated 2,000 customer

contracts and entered into an agreement with Mobit to deliver our software

solutions in the SMB market. This allows us to concentrate our resources on our

core business, as well as it provides our smaller customers with a solid

partner. This is an important milestone", says CEO Jens Haviken.
