Factors to Consider

The company is expected to have gained as corporations spend more on security and cloud migration as more people are shifting to remote jobs or a hybrid work environment.  

The company’s extensive product portfolio of managed services and professional services like consulting, staging, and deployment installation is likely to gain traction, owing to the rising complexities of creating, installing and managing a mobile solution. Steady traction witnessed for the company’s reoccurring revenue SaaS solutions, including packaged and custom-developed software, is likely to have favored third-quarter performance.

The company plans to further grow its margin by increasing service and software attach rates. The increasing adoption of its products and services across verticals like grocery and specialty retail, healthcare, distribution and transportation, along with geographic expansion, is a tailwind.

In the quarter under review, the company completed the re-branding of ExtenData Solutions into DecisionPoint Systems. The acquisition of ExtenData has helped DecisionPoint to improve its regional presence across the Rocky Mountain and Southwest regions of the United States and expand its professional services team.

Also, ExtenData’s MobileConductor delivery management platform has also opened up a new SaaS-based subscription revenue stream for DecisionPoint. Previous acquisitions of Advanced Mobile Group and Boston Technologies bode well.

However, pandemic-induced global supply-chain troubles and increasing integration risks owing to frequent buyouts might have dented the to-be-reported quarter’s performance.
