R&D is an integral part of our strategy for our competitiveness and the source of our expertise: The technological distance between a service company and the technology and industry it works with is an issue that needs to addressed. Typical time-frame for a technological advance to become commoditized in our market is 2-5 years. Companies that do start early usually get the most benfit from the market place for a period of at most 2-3 years, and late entry to a market faces stiff competition and low profit margins.
