The market of Geospatial Technology (“Geomatics”) is starting to boom globally. During the last decade OneStepAhead became more and more in a front-runners market position thanks to its unique software technologies and innovations power. OneStepAhead continuously broadens its geographical scope of activities and core competence fields: Location Based Services, Digital Mapping, Telematics, Traffic Information and Personal Navigation Systems.

For that reason, OneStepAhead is preparing itself for a new investment round to facilitate this growth. Since this ambitious goal was no longer in line with its parent company's policy, OneStepAhead management and shareholders proposed to step out of ROAD Group and acquire back all shares. Both parties agreed that this resolution is in best interest for both companies and executed this crucial deal on November 5th 2008.

OneStepAhead is very positive about its future and continues to provide industries and governments with high quality geospatial software embedded in tailor-made solutions. Prof. Dr. R. von Schwerin and Mr. Ad Bastiaansen are requested by OneStepAhead to continue their position in the supervisory board and to support the management in the achievement of its growth strategy.
