Ottawa-based Magor’s decision to shift its focus to software is paying big dividends, the visual collaboration solution provider’s chief executive said when the company released its fiscal 2015 year-end results late last week.
“During the quarter, we continued to execute on a strategy to focus on the delivery of software, resulting in a three times increase in software revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 over the prior year,” president and CEO Mike Pascoe said in a statement.
Mr. Pascoe said the decision has resulted in higher gross margins. He said scaling back hardware sales reduced the company’s operating costs, allowing it to “manage working capital more efficiently.”
