The reason for mentioning it is that the nonprofit software company's license sales for the third quarter ended November 30 were up by 15.9 percent year-over-year as direct sales declined and international results were flat. But license sales from resellers were up. That helped Serenic cut its loss to $103,595 in the most recently ended period, compared to $326,629 a year earlier. Third-quarter revenue was $2.68 million up from $2.64 million. All figures are in Canadian dollars. Revenue from software maintenance was up 12.8 percent because of the addition of new clients and a high renewal rate. The company also boosted its sales staff with a new director of channel sales and a new HCM sales manager for North America, and a new sales representative based in Germany. The press release did not contain names and these hirings had not been previously revealed.
