Disclosure announcement transmitted by euro adhoc. The issuer is responsible for the content of this announcement.
London / Frankfurt - 17 July 2002 - DICOM Group plc ("DICOM Group" or
"the Group"), the global leader in the Electronic Data and Document
Capture ("EDC") market, a fast growing segment of the Office
Automation software industry, announces the following trading update
ahead of its close period. Preliminary Results for the year ended 30
June 2002 will be announced on Tuesday, 17 September 2002.
In the core EDC Division, trading during the last quarter of DICOM
Groups financial year, has remained strong. In June it secured a
number of new contracts with blue chip clients, notably a contract
worth US$ 700,000 from Raymond James, the US investment bank. Other
sizable contracts gained during the last quarter included European
projects at Hertz UK, Halifax Bank, the Ministry of Justice in the
Netherlands and the Italian Post.
Current trading in the EDC Division continues to be strong, with
recent order flow ahead of the same period in 2001. Ascent Ricochet,
the award winning new software product line extending the Ascent
Capture product family, was launched at the end of June and first
orders have been received in July.
The Group remains well positioned in its core market, EDC, which has
shown good growth during the year in contrast to difficult general
trading conditions in the IT market. This growth has been aided by
the successful launch of new products, increased sales to new and
existing customers, and has led to a growing market share.end of announcement euro adhoc 17.07.2002
