With the additional support of the extended scope we are able to accelerate the conversion of the platform into a Software as a Service platform meaning clients will be able to set up their own events rather than always needed us to help them. 
It will also accelerate our time to market as the MVP is complete and projects are already being run, we now need to make sure we establish a position in the market quickly.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
