Strengths :
The company has international presence, which facilitate it to service and support its foreign clients and also to develop new overseas clients with minimum costs and in lesser time. Promoters plan to take the Company to Europe also in the near future.
As per the Strategic Review of 2004 released by NASSCOM, IT spending is expected to attain an annual growth rate of 5.4% in the global market. In an another study conducted by TowerGroup, a banking IT research and consulting firm, there is 2.3% increase in the global spending on financial services technology from US$ 326 billion in the year 2002 to US$ 334 billion in the year 2003. TowerGroup also anticipates that expenditure on new technology by banks will increase and devour around 35% of the total IT Spending. Aurionpro with its experienced professionals and related softwares is well positioned to retrieve its due share from this business.
India has positioned itself as a leading destination for offshore technology services. A NASSCOM-KPMG report (2004) has projected the Indian IT services (including the exports) to realize US$ 49 billion by 2009 as this figure was US$ 10 billion in the year 2003. This is expected to grow at the CAGR of 30%. To Aurionpro, the Indian market contributed more than 30% of the total income in the year 2004-05. Therefore there will be direct benefit to Aurionpro from the growth of Indian IT services market.
In one of the study of TowerGroup, the major IT spending will be in the area of risk management and expected to be around US$ 21 billion in the year 2005 where as this figure was US$ 16 billion as on 2002. Aurionpro has a range of proven products in the niche areas of Cash Management, Treasury and Risk Management. This will assist the company to catch attention of various banks and financial service companies to have Aurionpro as their service provider.

Weaknesses :
Aurionpro is a small company and depends highly on its current customers. The loss of any of the major clients or a decrease in the price at which the product is outsourced will adversely affect revenues.
The debtor to total asset percentage of Aurionpro in the year 2005 is 64%. Company like I-Flex solutions limited has this figure as 26%. This is one of the negative features of Aurionpro as most of its sales are unrealized.
The Company is a new entrant in international banks market and making huge investment abroad through acquisition or setting up offices. Therefore Aurionpro's growth depends mainly on acquiring new foreign customers.
Aurionpro, having no visible brand name competes with large established players in Indian market as well as in international markets like Polaris Software Lab limited, I-Flex Solutions Limited, etc
