This is supported by selective partnerships such as Optimove, Amplero and enterprise marketing cloud integrations, such as Salesforce.
At the same time the Company is laser focused on achieving positive operational cash flow, and will continue with careful cost management strategies.
OtherLevels will seek to grow revenues with existing customers by:
(a) expanding message volumes as more of our customer's users engage through digital channels.
(b) growing the OtherLevels platform within the customer via additional apps, mobile web and desktop sites;
(c) adopting OtherLevels expanded product range of new message types - for example web push, as well as other new options; and
(d) providing marketing services and other value added services.
The Company's Board and management will continue to closely monitor cash flow and will adjust costs as necessary, if required, in order to ensure that OtherLevels is in the best financial position to optimise operational performance and maximise shareholder returns.
