Communiqué AGM 27 April 2006 (pdf)
Corporate governance includes a set of rules and a decision-making hierarchy designed to ensure the controlled and efficient management of the company's operations, in order to meet shareholders' requirements for return on invested capital. Increased openness and transparency provide good insight into the company's operations, which contributes to effective governance. Corporate governance in Sweden has traditionally been regulated by law. In addition, industry self-regulatory bodies regularly present various regulations relating to corporate governance.
Detailed information about the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance is available at www.bolagsstyrning.se. HiQ aims to achieve a high standard through the clarity and simplicity of its management system and governing documents. Governance, management and control of HiQ is divided between the shareholders at the AGM, the Board of Directors and the auditors in accordance with the Swedish Companies Act and the Articles of Association.

Bolagsordning för HiQ International AB (publ) (pdf)
The following guidelines concerning remuneration payable to officers of the company were accepted at the 2012 AGM:
The board of directors proposes that the guidelines accepted at the 2011 AGM should continue to apply unchanged. Remuneration paid to the CEO and others in the company's management shall consist of a fixed remuneration, possible variable compensation, pension and any other customary benefits. The total sum paid must reflect market levels of compensation and the terms and conditions of payment shall reward good performance as well as give equal incentive for both the shareholders and the individual.
Fixed Compensation
Remuneration in the form of fixed compensation is to be paid in proportion to the officer's experience, responsibility and competence.
Variable Compensation
Variable compensation is to be paid in proportion to the officer's responsibility and competence. Additionally, compensation is to be both capped and based on the achievement of goals that correspond with shareholders' long-term interests. The variable compensation shall, whenever applicable, be based on quantitative and qualitative goals.
The company's cost for the variable compensation paid to the CEO and other company management is to amount to between zero and 100 per cent of the total sum of fixed remuneration paid, in line with goal-achievement.
The board proposes that the CEO and other company management in the same manner be given the right to participate in stock option plans as other staff and in accordance with the proposal the board submits at the AGM, as well as to receive any subsidised premium on the same terms as other HiQ employees.
HiQ offers its employees a premium-based pension scheme with the right to receive a pension payment from 65 years of age. Variable compensation paid is not pensionable. Retirement benefits are to be limited to 35 per cent of the amount of fixed compensation paid and to a maximum of approximately SEK 400,000 per annum and per employee.
Additional Benefits
Additional benefits provided by HiQ consist of conventional benefits given in accordance with local custom.
Termination of Employment and Severance Payment
With regard to the CEO, a mutual period of notice of six months will apply should either the company or the CEO choose to terminate the CEO's employment. Should the company choose to terminate the CEO's employment, a severance payment equivalent to ten month's salary is to be paid. Should the CEO choose to terminate his/her employment, then salary payable and other benefits are to be paid for a period of four months after employment ceases, during which time a non-compete clause will apply. In the case of the termination of the employment of other management, a mutual period of notice of three to six months will ordinarily apply.
The CEO determines the amount of remuneration payable to management. The amount of remuneration payable to the CEO is to be determined by the board.
The board may deviate from these guidelines in isolated cases if special reasons for doing so exist.
From 1998 to 2009 HiQ implemented a number of share programmes for its employees for the purpose of attracting, retaining and motivating staff members. The programmes are all based on subordinated debentures with detachable warrants. The programmes were divided into sub-programmes in order to allow warrants to be offered to new employees on an ongoing basis. The terms of the outstanding programmes are two and three years.
The following employees and members of the board are registered with Finansinspektionen, the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority:Board: Anders Ljungh, Gunnel Duveblad, Ulrika Hagdahl, Erik Hallberg, Raimo Lind, Lars Stugemo, Ken Gerhardsen and Johanna Fagrell Köhler.

HiQ SIMPLIFIES EVERYDAY LIFE.
Simplicity has become the innovation of our age. It's easy to talk about simplicity, the difficult thing is simplifying. This is the challenge that our industry has been living with for a long time. Simplicity is a keyword that permeates all the work we do at HiQ to create services that will improve people's day-to-day life, for example making your tax return by texting. We believe that IT that simplifies equates with quality. Or like Leonardo da Vinci expressed it "simplicity is the ultimate in sophistication".
We live in a world in which innovative IT-based services and products have improved the everyday lives of people. We see for example how social media help to bring about the downfall of dictatorships, how communication channels evolve and how very valuable IT has become for individuals, companies and organisations.
We take on the challenges with enthusiasm and expertise. We listen to our clients. We are the specialists who can get to grips with the intricacies of technology and the clients requirements and there to propose the simple solution. As a result, we create services and products that improve and simplify people's lives right in the midst of the adventure that we call IT.
HiQ'S OPERATIONS ARE CONDUCTED THROUGH OUR VARIOUS SUBSIDIARIES.

We understand the need to place technology within a context and how technology affects the people who work with it and our customers' business in general.
Simplicity is difficult to achieve, but for us it is a necessary way of approaching assignments to ensure we deliver useful and efficient solutions to difficult problems. It takes courage to step away from conventional thinking in order to seek better solutions to our customers' challenges. Employees at HiQ Stockholm are daring and creative team players.

WHO DOES HiQ COLLABORATE WITH?
HiQ actively works with different collaborations and unique activities. We want to be seen in contexts which, like us, are synonymous with speed, teamwork, high technology, openness, joy and the will to win. Our collaborations also serve as a good platform for activities with customers and employees.
Rock star & entrepreneur
Today, digital solutions are a business critical part in all industries, and the music industry has received great attention for the challenges in finding new ways to distribute music and earn money. HiQ works with many companies in this area and is also digital partner to Dregen – Sweden's biggest rock star.
HiQ and Dregen have collaborated for several years and as a digital partner HiQ works with developing Dregen's digital platforms to help him reach out to his fans. In the beginning of 2014 Dregen launched his new modern website, created by HiQ. Dregen is also a familiar face at HiQ's many events, such as our rock school and the Knowledge Bar, where he spreads energy and inspiration and plays with the HiQ band HEO. When the music video for "Just like that" was to be made, Dregen chose HiQ's offices as the location - below is a video behind the scenes of the shoot!
HiQ's own motor sports star.
As a specialised IT consultancy firm, HiQ works with leading customers in the automotive industry in areas such as Infotainment and Active Safety. Motorsport is a technology-intensive team sport, with IT increasingly playing a part in performance, safety and contacts with fans and the media. Richard Göransson's career started at the age of ten with go-cart and through hard work he has since established himself in the elite of racing and rally.
HiQ supports Richard both on the race track and by together creating thrilling activities to share with our clients and employees.
HiQ – part of Finnish alpine skiing
Tanja Poutiainen is Finland's most successful ever Alpine ski star and also one of the people we are happy to have in the HiQ team. Tanja is an appreciated guest and participant in various HiQ events, including the annual Knowledge Bar.
With around 12 years on top-level Tanja is a veteran in Alpine skiing circles. She has won both Olympic and World Championship medals and has been on the World Cup podium 48 times. Impressive!
On the alpine skiing stage HiQ is also represented through the World Cup Levi mobile phone application. The app, developed by HiQ, makes it possible to follow the World Cup Slalom season premiere in Northern Finland live in one's smartphone.
IT + motorsport = True
Motorsport is one of the clearest examples of a sport in which IT is playing an increasingly important role – and it's no secret that HiQ has a special place in its heart for motorsports. Besides Richard Göransson we also support Finnish World Rally Championship driver Mikko Hirvonen and his co-driver Jarmo Lehtinen.
Mikko Hirvonen entered his first rally in 1998 and he is today one of the world's top drivers. In their Citroën Mikko and Jarmo reached the podium 10 times during 2012 which resulted in a fourth WRC silver behind French superstar Sebastien Loeb. In 2013 Mikko Hirvonen continues to chase his first title as World Champion.
Maths is the first step.
At HiQ we believe that it is important that young men and women discover and learn to understand mathematics at an early age. Both for their own sake as well as to secure competence for the future. Therefore, we work with the non-profit organisation Mattecentrum ("The Maths Centre").
At no charge Mattecentrum helps over 120 000 children and youths to improve their skills in maths. This is done partly through open workshops, where HiQ employees are among the volunteers, but foremost by the online study tool www.matteboken.se (matteboken is the Swedish word for "The maths book"). Matteboken offers theory, video lessons, and excercises, with complete maths books from the Swedish A-E maths courses. Matteboken also contains a forum where users can ask questions.
Who knows, one of the thousands of young people getting help from Mattecentrum might work for HiQ one day?
2002-2008 HiQ had a very successful collaboration with the sailing project HiQ Sailing Team. HiQ Sailing Team, the well-known 60-foot trimaran and one of the fastest sailing boats in the world, has broken a number of records through the years. Among the most spectacular were the events of December 2006, when HiQ Sailing Team sailed around Gotland in a new record time of 17 hours 39 minutes – at an average speed of nearly 21 knots!
The trimaran has given us amazing experiences with both customers and staff, a great deal of pride and attention. It has been a true journey writing record history together.
HiQ is one of the fastest sailing boats in the world. In good conditions the boat can sail faster than 40 knots – last year's speed record was 41,6 knots. The boat is 60 feet long, 20 meters wide and weighs around 5 tonnes. The sail area is very large compared with the size of the boat, making the vessel quick and light on the rudder, but an advanced craft to sail – the Formula 1 of sailing. The new trimaran HiQ is one of the fastest sailing vessels in the world and has successfully sailed in competitions such as the ORMA, Jaques Vabre and Route du Rhum.
The project had backing from HiQ and co-partners Klabbe Nylöf, Andreas Andersén and Pelle Norberg. Together they form a very strong team who have accumulated many merits in the Whitbread, Volvo Ocean Race and other major international competitions.

- a solution for mobile payments
Attn. The video above is only available in Swedish.
Assignment To create a mobile solution for simple real-time financial transactions between private individuals for Sweden's six largest banks in cooperation with Bankgirot.
Challenge To free users from bank card readers and the hassle of entering the recipient's account number by pioneering a new way of carrying out transactions in real time. The innovative solution also had to work as a common service for Sweden's six largest banks, all of which have their own unique security systems and basic processes.
Solution In a project that expanded as it progressed, HiQ created the Swish mobile app – a shared service for SEB, Handelsbanken, Nordea, Danske Bank, Länsförsäkringar Bank, and the various branches of Swedbank and Sparbank. Using this service, it is possible to transfer money to individuals with an account in a Swish-affiliated bank in real time. All that is needed for the transaction is the recipient's mobile phone number – no card reader or long account numbers are necessary. Payments are approved with the help of a mobile Bank ID, which ensures that the solution is as safe as the banks' own individual internet services.
Result Millions of Swedes can now transfer money in real time via their mobile phones using Swish. During the summer of 2013, the service had more than 500,000 active users– half a million people who can now manage various everyday situations in a much simpler way by using Swish for everything from paying for lunch to collecting money to buy someone a joint birthday present.
Assignment To help the UK TV station, Channel 4, to create an IPTV service with a new player and portal for YouView – a shared platform for UK public service broadcasters.
Challenge The way we watch TV has changed. Today's viewers are used to being able to choose when and how they watch TV. To meet viewers' needs, the UK's public service broadcasters and two broadband companies agreed to work together to create YouView – a subscription-free, easy-to-use TV service with more than 70 digital channels, a 7-day catch-up function and a wide variety of TV programmes, films and radio shows on demand. Channel 4 needed to create a completely new player and portal that could be synchronised with this shared solution.
Solution HiQ played a key role in the team that created the Channel 4 player and portal for YouView. A critical element of the work was the development of a completely new on-demand player for the new platform, complete with content protection, dynamic advertising and detailed reporting. HiQ also helped Channel 4 to develop a logging system, which is essential for diagnosis and error detection when problems occur.
Result With Channel 4's new IPTV service, all the channel's viewers can see their favourite programmes when they want to – both live and on-demand on their normal TVs.
Assignment Back in the mid-1990s, HiQ was commissioned to develop, manage and support flight simulator training for the JAS39 Gripen multirole fighter aircraft. The simulator was used to train pilots to fly the plane, handle the tactical systems and deal with various emergency situations.
Challenge To develop simulators that reflect the advances made and to offer pilots a virtual environment as close to reality as possible, so that on-the-ground training genuinely does resemble the real thing. The aircraft is one of the most technically advanced in the world and the result of one of Sweden's biggest ever industrial projects. In many respects, the environment in a simulator is even more complex than that in the plane itself; not only the aircraft and its controls, but also the surroundings, operator positions, tactical environment, etc. have to be authentically reproduced. And, of course, the simulators have to be simple for users to operate.
Solution We worked on the project using agile methodology, continually taking responsibility for what was most important to the customer and users at every point in time. The assignment included everything from project management to configuration management, safety work, the preparation and specification of requirements, design/architecture, development, testing, delivery, training and support for users (both technicians and pilots).
Result Since the project began, more than 300 pilots have been trained in simulators developed by HiQ. Training in a simulator is very cost-effective and has considerably less impact on the environment.
Assignment To optimise the experience for visitors to the European Athletics indoor championships at Scandinavium in Gothenburg.
Challenge When you are watching an athletics competition where several events are taking place at the same time, it can be difficult to follow everything that is happening. It can also be difficult to find your way around the stadium and to make sure you are aware of all the offers that are available.
Solution As most people today are online 24/7, HiQ created an efficient, easy-to-navigate website and the official app for Android and iPhone for the 2013 championships in Gothenburg. These digital platforms made it easier for spectators to follow the competitions by providing background information, live updates and details of other events in connection with the competitions.
Result 50,000 unique visitors to the website every day during the championships and 5,200 app downloads during the weekend showed that the digital platform interested and reached a large portion of those attending the event. It was easier to follow the competitions on site and for media, sponsors and competitors to communicate with the event's target groups.
Attn. The video above is only available in Finnish.
Assignment To create a new and modern mobile service for Fintoto Oy, the group that markets and organizes horse race betting in Finland.
Challenge To bring the excitement and drama of horse and harness racing to mobile users. Harness racing is Finland's second-most popular sport in terms of spectator numbers. Annually, some 730,000 spectators attend the Finnish racetracks. In 2012, Tote betting amounted to nearly 250 million euros, half of which comes from online gaming. In step with a growing interest and the arrival of new technology, Fintoto discovered a significant demand for a mobile solution, especially among new players. The service needed to be both modern and easy to use.
Solution HiQ developed "Toto-mobiili", a service that moves Toto betting and live broadcasts into the smartphones in the players' pockets, enabling them to gamble and follow the races anytime and anywhere. The service focuses on the user, combining cutting-edge technology with the joy and excitement of betting.
Result Fintoto's customers can now easily bet on horse racing and follow live broadcasts in their smartphones. The service simplifies for the users and strengthens Fintoto's offer.
Assignment To carry out the first ever live broadcast of Sweden's biggest event – the Stockholm Pride Festival – and to involve participants in the parade with the help of mobile units.
Challenge To cope with the huge strain on the internet when more than five hundred thousand people out on the streets of Stockholm are encouraged during an intensive four-hour period to stream pictures for a live TV broadcast. We also wanted to set new records for live streaming during the course of one single day. "Openness" was the theme of this year's Pride Festival, and we wanted to show that technical solutions, such as Channel Q, can contribute to a more open society.
Solution We created a four-hour live broadcast with presenter Roger Nordin. Guests on the programme included Danny Saucedo, Babsan and Sweden's Minister for European Union Affairs, Birgitta Olsson. By integrating Bambuser with our website it was possible to follow thousands of live pictures from the parade. The camera team worked hard to create a wi-fi "carpet" to cover the entire the parade route so that everyone could contribute to the fantastic show. The event was broadcast on hiq.se, expressen.se, qx.se and on the large screen in Kungsträdgården Park in Central Stockholm.
Result We pioneered the first ever live broadcast of the Stockholm Pride Parade. We set a new Nordic record for the number of live streams in a day. We set a new visitor record to our website, and tens of thousands of people watched the TV broadcast online. We also succeeded in showing how technology can create a more open society.
Together with innovative and driven clients, HiQ works with simplifying and improving people's lives using IT.
HiQ's clients come from a variety of different industries, and they all have something in common - that they want to be at the forefront, developing their businesses and operations through simple and user friendly solutions.
We divide our customers, who have primarily Nordic but also global presence, into eight market segments.
As always, technological development is moving ahead rapidly and the need for individuals and businesses to communicate with one another is increasing.
Society's communication needs are increasing. Ever shorter product life cycles and the constant evolution of new services drive the telecom market. Meanwhile, technology from this segment is increasingly being transferred to other industries. Mobility and improvements in capacity are becoming more and more important for all customers in all industries.
Since 1995, HiQ enjoys a very strong standing in telecoms and we work with global, market-leading names. We have extensive technical expertise and commercial competence within telecommunications systems and have worked closely with suppliers, operators, users and regulatory bodies for almost 20 years. Our knowledge of and insights into the industry also create value for customers and projects in other lines of business, as many industries today are dependent on telecom technology.
Our customers in this segment include Ascom Wireless Solutions, Com Hem, Doro, Ericsson, Nokia, Telenor, TDC and Tele2.
HiQ simplifies and improves in a world growing more digitised.
Today's technology creates challenges and endless opportunities for the media industry, with technical advances enabling many new players to stream a variety of different media forms. Years of experience in IT, communications and the digitisation of content enables us to meet the increasing demand for services that combine the Internet and mobility with media and entertainment.
HiQ works with leading media companies on business system-related projects that are linked to improving processes and the production of media content. HiQ is also involved in the rapidly growing phenomenon of online TV, developing a number of services for various TV channels in the Nordic region and the rest of Europe. Today's viewers can decide where, when and how they watch TV, for example with the IP TV solution that HiQ has helped British Channel 4 to develop.
In addition, HiQ is involved in developing online gaming. This, too, is a constantly evolving industry, and Nordic players are successful in the global gaming market.
HiQ's customers include Aristocrat Lotteries, Channel 4, GTECH, Göteborg & CO, Hippos, Kanal 5, Moving Media/Mag+, MTV3 Finland and Veikkaus.
In an industry that places tough demands, HiQ is well equipped to meet the challenge.
The technology used in the automotive industry is constantly evolving and there is a great deal of pressure to introduce shorter and more efficient development cycles. HiQ is involved in this process through its project management, development and software testing services.
Vehicles and their components are today in greater extent connected and communicating with each other. Together with one of our innovative clients, we are developing road trains, where several connected vehicles travel in a semi-autonomous convoy. Two major benefits are enhanced safety and reduced fuel consumption.
For many years HiQ has been a strategic partner for a leading automotive manufacturer in the growing and important field of active safety – a highly prestigious assignment. Self-braking cars and systems that detect potential hazards in time reduce the number of accidents and save lives.
HiQ increasingly participates in projects aimed at developing eco-friendlier vehicles. Technology is crucial in finding effective solutions to reduce emissions and minimise fuel consumption.
Our clients in this segment include BorgWarner, Scania, Volvo Cars and Volvo Group.
The defence industry is global, and international risk scenarios are constantly changing.
HiQ's know-how in the fields of simulation and communications and the stable, long-term relationships we enjoy with our customers help us to succeed in this industry, where projects include both product development and operational support.
We have extensive experience of defence and security. For example, we have been maintaining and developing training simulators for the JAS 39 Gripen fighter aircraft since the early 1990s. More than 200 fighter pilots worldwide have been trained in simulators that HiQ has helped to develop.
HiQ also helps customers with the development of radar systems and systems that are critical for society, such as resource management systems for security companies and airports.
Our customers in this segment include BAE, Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV), Swedish Armed Forces and SAAB.
IT helps streamline industrial operations and has become increasingly business-critical.
Today there are ever greater numbers of IT-dependent products and support systems that require development capacity and services for testing and quality assurance. HiQ develops products and systems and also handles operational assignments that are aimed at simplifying, improving and modifying existing systems.
Examples of the results HiQ has produced include a pallet management system to reduce emissions from pallet transports within Europe. The system is according to calculations saving 10 million litres of diesel per year in transportation emissions. We are also part of developing effective support systems to simplify the booking process and inspection of vehicles.
Our customers in this segment include ABB, Atlas Copco, Bombardier, Dekra, Porvoo Energy, Empower, Jeppesen Systems, Kuusakoski, Kerava Energy, SKF and Svevia.
Through IT, retail is becoming more efficient and simple - for the distributors as well as for the customers.
Against the background of a steep rise in online shopping, the retail sector is currently undergoing some significant changes. Many retailers are broadening the options and simplifying purchasing for their customers by expanding and improving their online range and mobile shopping services.
With a strong offering, built on a thorough understanding of the industry gained over many years, HiQ supplies services to some of the leading retail chains that range from concept and design to quality assurance. HiQ works with everything from e-commerce, mobile commerce, procurement and logistics systems to marketing and sales tools.
Our customers in this segment include Axstores, Bauhaus, ICA, Lähikauppa and Stockmann.
The public sector is continually striving to increase service levels and make people's lives simpler.
To do so, the sector is developing IT environments that help to streamline and rationalise its operations.
HiQ has more than ten years' experience of working with development of business-critical IT solutions for the public sector that facilitate citizens' contacts and dealings with various authorities.
Our customers in this segment include the Swedish Public Employment Service, the European Chemical Agency, the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency, the Swedish Enforcement Authority, the Swedish National Police Board, the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority, Region Västra Götaland and the Swedish Tax Agency.
Global competition within the finance industry drives the need for constant adaptation and rationalisation.
EU directives for increased transparency and competition require European banks to adapt their IT systems to make sure the banks are better able to manage their risks. To do this, the industry needs to find competitive solutions – and this, in turn, creates opportunities for HiQ.
HiQ has a strong position in this sector, firmly founded on a thorough knowledge of the rules and regulations, processes and IT in several key areas, from securities trading to asset management and payments.
During the past year we have combined our financial expertise with our expertise in mobility to create a competitive offering for mobile payments as well as for money transfers between individuals.
Our customers in this segment include Bankgirot, Handelsbanken, Lindorff, Nordea, OP Pohjola Group, SEB, Skandia and Swedbank.

Regardless of where we are, we have become used to being in constant contact with the outside world via mobile phones, laptops and tablets – when at work, on holiday and in our free time.
We take it for granted that we have constant access to the services that we feel are important. These might be e-mail, social networking sites, weather reports, mobile banking, or our favourite music, to name just a few. Whatever it might be, the requirements we place on the service with regard to accessibility, privacy, content and usability are great.
HiQ provides expertise within mobility and mobile solutions to customers in all market segments and we are highly competent with regard to various technical platforms. We provide consultancy services and work with strategies, applications, usability and quality assurance linked to business benefits in our customers' operations. Some examples include a mobile banking application for handling banking errands and a mobile e-commerce platform that allows users to buy goods straight from their mobile phones.
Telecommunications involves communication between people and between people and systems.
It can also include systems communicating with each other without human involvement. Today, this means that your computer, video game console, mobile, sound system, TV and other devices are able to interact and communicate with the world around them.
HiQ has long held a strong position within telecommunications and cooperates with the majority of systems suppliers, mobile phone manufacturers, operators and users in the Nordic region. We are currently witnessing a continued, strong convergence between the Internet, media, entertainment and mobility. Telecom technology is playing a central role here as increasing amounts of information are transmitted with the help of IP. HiQ is active at the very heart of this convergence.
One example of this is our development of Dreampark's next-generation IPTV portal. TV distribution over IP networks using a new kind of hybrid box will give viewers access to a broad range of TV channels, the Internet, movie rental services, Facebook and Twitter. In the future, it will even be possible to record programmes directly on mobile phones and tablets.
One of the specialist areas in which HiQ has a long-running history of expertise is simulation technology. We are leaders in the Nordic region in software development for simulated environments and work together with many different customers in the field.
Ever since the JAS Gripen fighter jet first came into service, HiQ has developed simulators for training pilots. HiQ continues its work on this project as the aircraft and technology continue to be developed. An interesting detail about the JAS Gripen project is that the simulator uses the same system software as the actual fighter jet.
HiQ also develops simulators used in the development and testing of new mobile phones and IT solutions for vehicles. Another example is when we helped Forsslund Systems, the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology and Karolinska Institutet to develop an oral surgery simulator. The system is used by dentistry students to practice surgical procedures.
In just a few short years the way in which we communicate has been totally transformed. To meet the new challenges that this presents and the needs it creates, HiQ has assembled a talented team in the form of a digital agency that helps our customers to make their digital communication even more powerful.
Today's communication increasingly takes place online and across numerous different platforms. This creates business for HiQ, which is winning more and more assignments as a strategic digital partner. Our expertise in technology, communication and business together with our extensive experience in many market segments and specialist areas means that HiQ is gaining ground in the digital market. The team of art directors, creative directors, copywriters, interaction designers and usability experts in HiQ's digital agency frequently works on projects that demand the highest levels of innovation, creativity and technical know-how.
The partnership is tailor-made to support the client´s business in the best way. In this way HiQ becomes a long-term partner to organisations that regard IT and communication as business critical functions for success. Other collaboration takes the form of a more limited participation in projects, where we interact closely with advertising agencies, etc.
IT offers a wealth of opportunities for businesses and the public sector to both improve and simplify what they do.
Many companies are highly dependent on their IT systems. Banks and insurance companies are totally dependent on the reliability of the IT systems that manage payments and other transactions, for example. Public sector institutions require support systems to help them keep their operations well organised and to ensure that the services they provide to the public function well.
In the case of the Swedish National Tax Board, for example, IT has made it possible to offer better, simpler, more user-friendly services by providing forms, tax declarations and applications online.
HiQ develops systems able to meet high demands on accessibility and reliability and that are business-critical for the customer's entire operation. Often, these are systems that are required to operate 24-7, such as systems for share trading and case management systems for public authorities. This might also include things like logistical solutions for transport or trading companies. Whatever the case may be, they are always business-critical parts of our customers' operations.
Today there is a veritable ocean of interactive online games. Scratchcards are now available on mobile phones, poker is a success on tablets and there are many new ideas in the pipeline.
HiQ works to produce interactive games for betting and sporting games for state-regulated companies. The demand for interactive gaming alternatives is increasing, especially within sports games.
We are Nordic leaders in the area and develop and implement platforms for both gaming and the games themselves. HiQ also develops advanced solutions for managing security, accessibility and performance. Our customers include established, well-known Nordic gaming companies and betting agencies, as well as GTECH – the world-leading supplier of IT solutions and services for the gaming and lottery industry.
Within finance, HiQ is a specialist in securities trading services.
We have successfully managed a very large number of projects and commissions in this area – from strategy and systems to projects and administration. Efficiency is often the most important issue for our customers, e.g. how to make the process faster, how to monitor it better or how to reduce risk. Thanks to HiQ's understanding of the flows of the securities industry, we are able to find solutions to these issues. We possess expertise on the entire process – from orders and transactions to clearing and settlement.
We provide our customers with insight into the complete process. The finance industry is complex, so it is often possible to focus on and understand only one section of the market. At HiQ, we understand all aspects of the industry. Our comprehensive knowledge allows us to quickly find effective, secure solutions that meet all existing standards and legal requirements, from the time the order is placed to the time the transaction is made and registered. This over-arching capability saves our customers both time and money, allowing them to get up and running quickly and to get to work on new business opportunities.
New vehicles launched onto the market today are packed with IT and technological solutions.
This might include an information system for the driver that indicates how the vehicle is performing, a navigation system or an entertainment system for passengers. One area that continues to expand is active safety. Examples of active safety solutions include systems that cause cars to brake automatically when someone or something gets too close and functions that improve driver vision in poor lighting.
HiQ helps vehicle manufacturers and sub-suppliers to the automotive industry to develop platforms, systems and services for vehicles. These facilitate communication between different devices within a vehicle and communication to and from a vehicle. We are well positioned within fields like infotainment, active safety, telematics and usability.
Another growing area in which HiQ has a long record of experience is mobility and digital channels. In this field, we help Saab Automobile AB with its development of technical platforms for marketing via digital channels and mobile applications, for example. We also develop engine management systems, production systems and diagnostics solutions and have delivered a new production system for a leading global car manufacturer to Brazil and Asia. Through our broad-ranging offerings to the automotive industry, HiQ's work saves both money and lives.

New Projects - Fresh from the Labs
Projects at a Glance
UnixTree (www.unixtree.org)
Much like Midnight Commander captured the feel and essence of the popular DOS application, Norton Commander, UnixTree models itself closely on the once popular XTreeGold. XTreeGold was the introduction that many first PC users had with DOS, which, much like Norton Commander, had a semi-GUI interface to ease the transition into a tricky environment. Although this may not strike an instant chord with command-line purists or full-blown X users, I know a number of people for whom XTreeGold was their primary interface day to day, and hopefully, UnixTree will ease their transition into the UNIX shell in the same way XTreeGold did for DOS. I've had a chance to use it, and I'm quite impressed, especially as certain essential UNIX commands are assigned to single keystrokes to speed up your daily command-line usage.
Gnake lightless.org/gnake)
Anyone who has a mobile phone will know the time-old classic game, Snake. I still play the popular X game Gnibbles from time to time, and I've always had a soft spot for the style of gameplay. Gnake brings that gameplay to the console in a rather simplified form, but still, it's damn hard. Compilation is easy; simply grab the tarball, enter make and then ./gnake. I'm not sure whether the levels progress (I haven't passed stage one), but some of the options that can be altered include the playground size, speed, number of apples, growing length and the ability to add computer-controlled snakes.
Console Commander (concom.sourceforge.net)
Console Commander brings you a selection of information and system tools under an easy-to-navigate group of menus that should be of serious comfort to anyone not familiar with the Linux shell. Some of the clever features group together the sorts of information I've always had to dig through large GUI programs to reach, like Kinfocenter. Information, such as CPU type, free memory, partition usage, distro info and so on, is usually a pain to hunt down individually. Combined with tools that automate tasks like package and repository upgrades, how-tos and many more features, this is a handy program indeed. Although there's nothing technically amazing happening here, it has no pretenses about what it is and will save time for many users. I love it.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you are on hormone therapy and your PSA starts to rise, this may mean that your hormone therapy is no longer working as well as it was. The first hormone therapy you have may keep your cancer under control for several months or years. However, over time, the behaviour of your cancer cells may change and your cancer may start to grow again. Although the prostate cancer is no longer responding as well to one type of hormone therapy, it may still respond to other types of hormone therapy. This is sometimes called second-line hormone therapy. You cancer may also respond to a combination of other treatments. The aim of treatments is to control your cancer and delay or manage any symptoms such as pain and urinary problems.

State Effort Needed to Reach Scrapie Eradication Goal
March 31, 2005
Many States Still Have Not Met all Requirements to Maintain Consistent State Status
By Emily Tescher-Johnston
March/April 2005 -- All individual states across America have a vital role in the eradication of scrapie. The eradication of scrapie is dependent on the ability to trace positive animals from slaughter back to the farm were they were born, and to trace exposed animals from infected flocks to the flocks in which they currently reside. This can best be accomplished by requiring sheep and goats to be identified when they first leave the farm. The authority to do this resides with the States.
A federal regulation, published in August 2001, required each state in the Union to develop and maintain an effective, scrapie-control program, including identification on change of ownership in order to move sheep or goats with minimal restrictions to other states. States that met most of the federal standards for scrapie programs obtained Consistent State status at that time. The states were given additional time to develop the laws and/or regulations needed to fully implement effective scrapie programs, including the requirement for identification on change of ownership.
In the past three and a half years, most states have taken steps toward maintaining their Consistent State status, but only about a third of the states have enacted the required regulations.
As of March 3, 2005, 19 states (Arkansas, Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Michigan, Nebraska, New Jersey, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin) had the required regulations in place and 28 states had submitted work plans and specific timelines for getting the regulations in place. The other three states had not submitted complete work plans with specific timelines to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
"Basically more than half of the states have not done everything they need to do, to reach Consistent State status," says Diane Sutton, the National Scrapie Program coordinator, for the USDA, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Veterinary Services.
Obtaining Consistent State status is an important link in the chain of steps taken toward scrapie eradication.
Sutton says, "The only way we can effectively eradicate scrapie is by having all the states reach this status, and have an active scrapie program which includes the identification of sheep and goats in intrastate commerce, so they can be traced back if necessary."
The guidelines for achieving Consistent State status are defined in Title 9 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Most notably, the CFR requires each state to promulgate a regulation requiring the official identification of most sexually intact sheep and goats upon change of ownership.
According to Sutton, the main stumbling block for the non-compliant states is implementing an identification and change of ownership rule. She explains there are different processes in each state for making regulatory change.
"Some states have very broad animal health authority, others have more limited authority, so it varies from state-to-state as to whether requiring identification on change of ownership needs to be a regulation or a law -- and some may need both."
Those responsible for leading the process to achieve Consistent State status in each state -- the state veterinarian and the USDA/APHIS area veterinarian in charge -- are familiar with their own state's regulatory process and will be able to guide their state in reaching Consistent State Status if the proper steps are taken. But the states are running out of time.
Back in August 2001, all states were given two years in which to complete Consistent State status. A grace period was added to the deadline.
"But now the grace period is coming to an end," says Sutton. "States have just one legislative cycle left to implement their program and achieve Consistent State status."
She adds, "If they by-pass the timeframe and fail to do this, that will be it."
Producers Burdened If State Fails
If a state does not meet Consistent State status requirements, then the burden falls to the producers. Individual producers who wish to move sheep over state lines in a non-compliant state will be required to enroll in the Scrapie Flock Certification Program. The producer's flock will have to be inspected annually by USDA or state personnel, the producer will be required to implement a record keeping system and keep more comprehensive animal identification records.
Sutton notes that producers in a non-compliant state may face time delays in moving sheep out of the state. USDA and state animal health departments will need to allocate staff, time and budget to inspect individual flocks.
"There are only so many flocks that will be able to be inspected per month," says Sutton.
There are further restrictions, as indicated in the CFR, if a state fails to reach Consistent State status. Those restrictions are: Low risk and low risk commercial breeding goats will need official identification and a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI). Sexually intact slaughter sheep under 18 months not moving directly to a terminal feedlot or slaughter will need official identification. Sexually intact slaughter sheep over 18 months will need a CVI in addition to official identification. And, animals moving for grazing must have official premises identification and CVI.
Jim Logan, DVM., health committee chairman for the American Sheep Industry Association (ASI), encourages producers to call their state veterinarian and USDA/APHIS area veterinarian to check where their particular state is in the Consistent State status process.
"Ask the state vet where they are in the process," says Logan. "He or she will know what has to be accomplished before the state reaches Consistent State status."
Logan explains that some states need statutory changes in order to finalize the Consistent State status process and that means legislative action.
"If the legislators don't see the need for achieving Consistent State status, then the state veterinarian will have a difficult time getting things done," Logan says.
Paul Rodgers, deputy director of policy for ASI agrees. "Sheep producers need to be in contact with state veterinarians, livestock boards and maybe even their legislature and let it be known that Consistent State status is something the industry needs to accomplish in a timely matter."
Rodgers emphasizes the importance of every state reaching Consistent State status.
"If the regulations didn't require the states to meet minimum standards, we would never achieve complete eradication. Each state should be allowed to achieve Consistent State status in a manner that is tailored to their own legal and industry circumstances so long as they meet the baseline requirements in the federal regulation," concludes Rogers.

Coming Through Slaughter
The English Patient author's first novel "is my favorite book," Steve Earle says. "My novel sort of exists because of it. It's about Buddy Bolden—a musician who was huge at the turn of the 20th century. Ondaatje imagines that, at the peak of Bolden's career, around 1906, he disappears for a while. When he comes back, he is never the same again." This is a unique book "because it has a poetic spirit," Earle says, noting that Ondaatje had published primarily poetry before this. "For me, someone who is essentially a poet by trade and is writing prose for the first time, this is an incredible hybrid piece of literature." Comparing the novel to On the Road, Earle says that in his own novel, he was trying to emulate Ondaatje, whose book he has probably read "at least ten times."

A History of Bose®
Bose® Corporation was founded in 1964 by Dr. Amar G. Bose, then professor of electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. As an MIT grad student in the 1950s, Dr. Bose decided to purchase a new stereo system. He was disappointed to find that speakers with impressive technical specifications failed to reproduce the realism of a live performance. The quest for better sound was on.
Extensive research in the fields of speaker design and psychoacoustics – the human perception of sound – led to the groundbreaking 901® Direct/Reflecting® speaker system in 1968. Its unprecedented approach to sound reproduction came much closer to the essence and emotional impact of live music, and won immediate acclaim.
The list of major Bose® innovations continues to grow. Fourteen years of research led to the development of acoustic waveguide speaker technology, found in our award-winning Wave® Radio, Wave® Music System, and Acoustic Wave® Music Systems. Acoustimass® speaker technology reshaped conventional thinking about the relationship between speaker size and sound, enabling palm-sized speakers to produce audio quality previously thought impossible from speakers so small.
Auditioner® audio demonstrator technology removed the guesswork from sound system design for arenas and other large venues. It allows builders, architects, and facility managers to hear precisely what a Bose® system will sound like in their building, before any equipment is installed, even if the building only exists as a blueprint.
Bose Lifestyle® systems provided a welcome alternative to conventional component-based systems by offering fully integrated home entertainment solutions. Lifestyle® systems deliver performance and elegance from elements specifically engineered to work together.
The systems approach has paved the way for numerous Bose® solutions, audio, and beyond. Integrated systems account for the acclaimed performance of Bose® automotive sound systems and Acoustic Noise Cancelling® headsets. The revolutionary Bose® suspension system and ElectroForce® linear motion system rely on proprietary Bose® software and hardware working together in harmony. All feature technologies available only from Bose® Home Audio.
Today, you can find Bose® wherever quality sound is important. From the Sistine Chapel to NASA space shuttles to the Japan National Theatre. In the home and on the road, from large outdoor arenas to intimate neighborhood stores, restaurants and clubs, you can hear the realism of the most respected name in sound – Bose®.
