Ministry of Defence
United Arab Emirates
Amper will supply a Comprehensive Command and Control
System to the Ministry of Defence of the United Arab Emirates
in the largest overseas contract obtained by the company.
With duration of three years, it includes a transfer of technology
to Emiraje which will enable the maintenance and evolution of
the system to be carried out locally. This achievement in the
United Arab Emirates consolidates the leadership of Amper
due to the fact that it is one of the few multinational companies
providing an information system for the Military Command
and Control which is operational in more than two countries,
given that it currently can be found in Spain and Switzerland.
Telebras
Brazil
Amper has been chosen by Telebras, in a contract of more than
24 million euros, for the provision of integration solutions in
the IP network within the deployment of the national network
which forms part of the concessions of the National Broadband
Plan (PNBL, for its acronym in Portuguese) that is promoted by
the Government. The PNBL will reach more than 3,000 cities
across the country and will be linked via fibre optic rings.
Swiss Army
Switzerland
The Swiss Army once again extends their contract for the
Command and Control System developed and supplied
by Amper. This information system covers the command
and control for all levels, from the bottom levels, such as
vehicles, to the most strategic decision-making levels.
Banco Santander
Spain
For the Banking and Finance sectoral area, and within the
activity of Communications, Amper has been awarded a
major contract with Banco Santander for the implementation
of an intelligent structured cabling system, the renovation
of booths and the monitoring of consumption for the
new Data Processing Centre of Cantabria in Spain.
Ministry of Interior
Spain
Amper has been awarded a contract for the deployment of the
maritime surveillance Coordination Centre of Algeciras.
This contract will enhance the SIVE system already deployed
and allows the integration of information received from the
system sensors, radar and cameras with other information
provided by ships, satellites and the systems specific to this
port. The unification into a single control centre for various types
of information will improve the detection of vessels and the
management and control of them.
The operating room shall also house the Centre of Coordination
of the maritime surveillance of coasts and borders in which
the information of the Comprehensive External Surveillance
System (SIVE, for its acronym in Spanish) of Málaga, Granada,
Cádiz, Algeciras and Ceuta will be integrated and where the
actions of the Civil Guard shall be coordinated nationally.
Safe City
Mexico
Amper has been awarded a contract to expand the Safe City
project in Mexico, in the largest emergency management
system currently in place in the world. In this project, Amper has
already been supplying the integration of communications.
The high-tech project, which is directed by Mexico’s Federal
District Government, will allow authorities to respond
immediately and in a coordinated manner by shortening the
response time to emergency situations, crises and illegal acts.

Dear Shareholders:
I again have the pleasure to address everyone on this occasion, in our annual
meeting in which we render account for the management of the corporation during
the last financial year, and do so with the great satisfaction it gives me to able to say
that despite all the difficulties expected at the beginning of last year, the strategy
we set for ourselves to address these difficulties has been effective and we have
fulfilled all the commitments set before you and set before the market.
It is well known that the economic situation in Spain, which is far from letting up,
has fallen into a dynamic depression which in combination with the difficult financial
market conditions, has led it to another recession and, along with it, a decline in
demand and a decline - and in some cases disappearance - of projects which
could mean opportunities for consolidation or growth. The technology companies
have been one of the main entities affected by this situation, characterised by the
decline in investments and loans and the increased competition.
But the economic situation has not followed these same patterns outside of our
borders and, thanks to our diversification into other geographical areas, we have
been able to offset the negative trend experienced in Spain with new opportunities
in other projects which have opened some fundamental avenues of cooperation with
key clients of those environments, giving us business now and, consequently, puts
Letter
from the Chairman
Jaime Espinosa de los Monteros
10. 10 · Annual Report 2011
us in a very good position for the future. This, coupled with a continuous
search for efficiency throughout our organisation, has mitigated the
bad trend suffered in Spain and has amplified the favourable trend
experienced in Latin America and the South Pacific.
And in this way we have fulfilled our commitments in turnover, in
EBITDA, in the restructuring of our financial debt and in maintaining
our policy of innovation.
These accomplishments have been the result of the achievement of the
milestones we set for ourselves for the 2011 financial year, and I want
to mention those which I believe to be essential: First, the productivity
improvements achieved after the restructuring operations in Spain
which were carried out with a dual approach: the adaptation to the
development of the business in the country and retaining the talent;
which has also been dedicated to the technological and commercial
support to other areas. Secondly, the contract worth 92 million euros
awarded by the United Arab Emirates for the command and control
system of their armed forces, which consolidates the leadership of
Amper as one of the few multinational companies possessing an
information system for the military command and control operating in
more than two countries, given that currently, in addition to the United
Arab Emirates, it is also operational in Spain and Switzerland. Thirdly,
the effective integration of eLandia, which has become an authentic
platform for growth and has provided activity in 14 additional Latin
American countries and over 3,000 new clients, among which include
more than 15 operators. And lastly, the restructuring of our financial
debt, which was carried out with 29 entities. After this, 83% of our
debt came to have a long term maturity profile compared with the 5%
at 31 December 2010.
11. Amper · 11
If I had to summarise in a single concept the essence
of our company, I would say that Amper is diversity
for sustainability: geographical diversity, because the
enormous weight of the activity abroad is reflected
in the 61% of sales, which means 25 points more
than in 2010, and diversity in the implementation
of solutions, given that the entire portfolio of the
Company (Defence, Communications and Security)
is gaining presence in the countries in which we
operate.
The common processes which we are implementing
and the critical mass we already have in many of these
countries allow us to further improve the efficiency
and thus be a company with a sustainable project.
No doubt the excellent work of the Chief Executive
Officer, Alfredo Redondo, has contributed to all this
success. Alfredo Redondo joined our Company in
the middle of 2010 who, along with the rest of the
Board of Directors which I am honoured to chair,
has been able to define and implement a successful
strategy and unite around it, instilling enthusiasm
and energy to all professionals working for Amper
all over the world. They, our professionals, are also
responsible for the excellent results and, together
with all of our clients, constitute the most important
asset for the success of this project, for an Amper
that is solid, profitable and sustainable.
Lastly, I would like to make mention of the addition of
the Veremonte Group to our Company in May 2012.
This addition, which has taken place during the worst
economic situation of our country in recent times, is
proof of the confidence that international investors,
with importance equal to that of the Veremonte
Group, can have in the sustainable expansion plans
of our business, especially due to the prospects for
our operations in Latin America. We are very thrilled
with its incorporation and we are convinced that
its addition will help streamline our plans and, on
behalf of the entire Board of Directors, we extend to
them our warmest welcome.
I would like to conclude by expressing my gratitude
for the trust you all have placed in us. I hope to
continue to inform you that our goals are being
achieved in future occasions and be assured that
all of us at Amper will continue to work with the
determination and aim of making this Company
ever more solid and profitable.
Best Regards,
Jaime Espinosa de los Monteros

Dear Shareholders:
A year ago I had the opportunity to address you for the first time as Chief Executive
Officer, to present a brief overview of the management of Amper during the 2010
financial year. Now a year later, it again gives me great pleasure to recap the
events of the 2011 financial year, which has without doubt been a key year in the
transformation of our Company, in meeting the critical challenges which we have
set for that year and in the consolidation of a diversification strategy to create, out
of all of our achievements, a sustainable project.
For the 2011 financial year, the crucial challenges on which our survival depended
were primarily the success in acquiring the contract with the United Arab Emirates,
the effective integration of eLandia to the normal operations, the optimisation of
the structure in Spain and refinancing. They were all successfully met and the
result has been that Amper has vastly improved its growth forecasts and results
announced for the 2011 financial year: we have practically doubled our contracts
signed, exceeding 406 million euros, we have increased our turnover by 50% to 393
million euros, we achieved an EBITDA of 23.3 million euros compared to -8.9 million
euros in 2010, we have improved the net profit by 25 million euros and we have
achieved the objectives we set ourselves for restructuring the financial debt.
Letter from the
Chief Executive Officer
Alfredo Redondo
14. 14 · Annual Report 2011
Moreover, the three crucial pillars of differentiation of Amper in the
market has been confirmed during the 2011 financial year and the
pillars of sustainability of the business will continue to be consolidated
during the 2012 financial year, and beyond.
Amper has, as its distinctive hallmark, the combination of a global
presence, our own R & D + innovation department and an approach to
the multisectoral market. In combination, these three characteristics
are those that have allowed Amper to compete in growth markets with
future technologies of its own creation.
The 2012 financial year will reap the fruits of this differentiation strategy,
and its sustainability will continue to build on the three fundamental
pillars of globalisation, efficiency, and innovation.
Internationalisation, because of the significant relative growth which
the international markets have sustained and will continue to sustain
in the structure of total turnover of the Company:
The incorporation of eLandia has contributed activity in 14 new
countries in Latin America, including sales totalling 131 million euros.
This represents a growth of 39% with respects to the sales of eLandia
during the same period in 2010.
In addition to the appropriate operations of this incorporation, the
continuation of this strategy to expand into other markets outside of
Latin America, such as the United Arab Emirates, the South Pacific,
Amper has continued its firm
commitment to innovation
which, in a globalised scenario
like the present, represents a
differential asset with a clear
added value
15. Amper · 15
France, India or Vietnam represented a large
increase in the activity abroad in 2011 compared
to 2010.
A year ago I mentioned that our objective was not to
be an international company, but a true multinational
company,andthatiswhatweareachievingindefining
our operations and our structure in accordance with
this strategy: sales divisions, competency centres,
back office supports and corporate functions have
been located in the area most adapted to the reality
of our clients and our business, and therefore we
can discuss some of the corporate governance
bodies distributed throughout Spain, USA, Brazil or
Latin America.
Efficiency, due to the Global Competency Centres,
to its shared back office structure, to the matrix
approach to the market thanks to the combination of
Regions and Business Units, and to the optimisation
of the structure carried out in Spain, which has
been executed with a dual approach: adaptation to
the development of the business in the country and
retaining the talent; which has also been dedicated
to the technological and commercial support to
other areas.
The successful restructuring of the financial debt
has resulted in a long term maturity profile of 83%
of its debt compared with the 5% it had at 31
December 2010.
And finally, the working capital has also improved
substantially in homogenous terms, motivated in
part by the effects of the T2C Project (Time to Cash,
or optimisation of the working capital).
Innovation, to build an offer of sectoral value, which
looks to the true needs of clients in the areas of
Defence, Communications and Security.
Despite the current global financial and economic
situation, Amper has continued its firm commitment
to innovation which, in a globalised scenario like the
present, represents a differential asset with a clear
added value. According to the internal powers or the
planned business models, this commitment is twofold:
It’s own R & D + innovation department or technological
or market agreements with strategic partners.
With respects to its R & D + innovation department,
Amper has dedicated a total of 151 people and a
portion of its budget of 12.6 Million euros in 2011.
16. 16 · Annual Report 2011
With regard to the strategic partners, Amper concluded 2011 with a
series of agreements among which one that stood out was the contract
signed with Telefónica to offer solutions for Defence, Security and
Communications to Major Corporations and Public Administrations in
Latin America. This is an area in which both partners already have
experience working together in Spain and other European countries.
Another contract which stands out is the one signed with Google
Enterprise to use its technology in the security solutions of Amper,
which for the first time allow emergency management in centres, even
when there is no Internet connection, or in critical situations with high
levels of operational demands.
And the contract signed with Quantenna Communications to use its
4x4 MIMO Wi-Fi technology, which will allow the wireless broadband
services (HDTV, or any content in video format) to reach the homes
of the consumers with multiple wireless devices regardless of the
architecture, simultaneously and thereby simplifying the installation.
AllthishasbeenpossiblethankstotheenormouseffortofTransformation
that the Company has carried out throughout the year and making
Transformation a constant in our way of thinking and acting, seeking
excellence for the sake of our clients, our shareholders, our partners
and, of course, of all the professionals that make up the Company.
After some initial tests, a Transformation Project which encompassed
virtually all pillars essential to our success was finally established: Client
Satisfaction, Client Engineering, Execution and its impact on cash,
Thanks to the enormous
effort made throughout
this financial year,
transformation is a
constant in our thinking
and acting
17. Amper · 17
Back office synergies, and Communication. In order
to “industrialise” the transformation of our Group,
a Transformation Office has been created which
coordinates, from Spain and from Latin America,
and provides consistency to the development and
achievements of each.
The Project was officially and simultaneously
launchedfromSãoPauloinMarch2012,implemented
throughout entire company and with the virtual
attendance and participation of all professionals via
webcast, connecting them via social networking and
video and audio conferences created specifically for
the event and, at this moment, many of the project’s
milestones are being reached and have begun to
bear its fruit.
Lastly, I would like to mention the enormous
satisfaction that the addition of the Amper
Veremonte Group as a shareholder gives me in
these very complicated and difficult economic
and financial times. Their decision to invest in our
Company in such a significant manner is further
proof that innovation and the continuous search
for efficiency, in addition to having represented a
value proven in the past financial year also paints
a project with prospects of success for the present
and, what is more important, of sustainability for
the future.
The inflow of capital that the incorporation of the
Veremonte Group represents to our shareholders,
along with the last restructuring operation of our
financial debt, will allow us to give increase our
focus on achieving the operational objectives of our
business for future financial years, as well as for the
present financial year.
I would like to use this opportunity to show my
appreciation to the team of professionals who have
made it possible for Amper to be considered a
forthright opportunity for investment, to welcome
the Veremonte Group to this exciting project which
Amper represents and to give special thanks to the
entities represented in our Board of Directors, our
directors and to everyone else, for the confidence
you have placed in all of us.
Best Regards,
Alfredo Redondo

Amper: A multinational and
sustainable company
The estimates of the information and communication technology (ICT)
market for 2012, according to the Gartner Group, amount to 2,600 B $.
Of these, 43 B $ correspond to Spain and 151 B $ correspond to Latin
America, including Brazil to which 62 B $ correspond.
In its sectoral distribution, a quarter of this market corresponds to the
commerce and manufacturing sectors, another quarter corresponds
to the banking and finance sectors, another corresponds to the
group consisting of the means of communication and entertainment,
transport and public services, and the last quarter corresponds to
government agencies and other ICT users.
As for the estimates or forecasts for the 2012-2015 period, the
services of fixed or mobile telecommunication networks are found
first, followed by the management of technologies and processes, and
lastly development and integration.
Amper, then, is a well positioned major player in one of the segments
and in the geographical area with the greatest market potential and
it has aimed its offer of solutions for the sectors which will need their
services most.
This multisectoral and multinational response, to which 4,000 clients are
now recipients, is provided by more than 1,900 professionals in some 19
countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America and the South
Pacific, and represents the result of an end to end integrating work, creator
22. 22 · Annual Report 2011
of the ecosystem from which Amper develops its value
proposition. Clients, technology partners and centres
of excellence with which collaboration agreements
have been established are the catalysts for solutions
that are based in mutual enrichment through direct
contact and the interchange of concerns, ideas,
technology and in-house and third-party solutions. No
doubt this is a rich, real and sustainable approach.
Diversity for Sustainability
Amper has adopted a strategy to develop its
value proposition supported by its talent as
competitive differentiation:
Its in-house technology is executed in Centres of
Excellence in the proximity of the market and located
in Madrid, Barcelona, Bangalore and Bogota which,
while optimising their costs of R&D+ innovation,
benefit from the proximity to the client. This is
fundamental for the adaptation of the proposed
solutions to the real needs that the market demands.
On the other hand, its capacity to integrate is
extended to both systems derived from in-house
technology or services as well as from third parties,
systems for which Amper possesses multi-vendor
accreditations of the highest levels of qualification.
All this, coupled with the strategic technology
agreements with partners, certify them for managing
projects of a high degree of complexity or the
connection of complex ecosystems such as those
needed to provide solutions to cloud services, smart
citiesandM2M(machinetomachine)communications,
among others.
Lastly, the economies of scale with their multinational
clients provide replicability in both projects and
in business models. In a considerable volume of
cases, the experience with their clients and their
recommendations regarding the excellence of its
solutions are Amper’s best credential.
In short, the geographical diversity provides Amper
sustainability for the possibility of balancing disparate
economic situations and its diversity in solutions
facilitates the introduction of its entire portfolio of
Defence, Communications and Security to its clients
and in the countries in which it operates.
23. Amper · 23
Madrid, Barcelona, Bangalore and Bogota are the
cities in which the Centres of Excellence of Amper
are located. These Centres are dedicated to
technological research and to the development of
solutions in defence, communications and security,
and are the palpable confirmation of the three
strategic pillars of Amper: Internationalisation,
Efficiency and Innovation.
Internationalisation, because their professionals

substantial list of references which includes several

achieve with these a climate of collaboration based
on an interchange of open opinions based on
experience in order to share ideas, projects, needs
and solutions, and which make possible a replicable
“engineering” of the lifecycle of any of the solutions
that are developed therein.
And innovation, because the engineering with a high
added value carried out therein not only includes the
in-house engineering of Amper, but also includes the
engineeringstemmingfromitsparticipationinnational
and international R&D+innovation programmes, and
whose ultimate objective in the majority of the cases
is to try to make the lives of citizens more comfortable,
easier and safer in daily life in emergency or special
situations, through innovation in the discovery of new
technologies, and in the integration of the existing
technologies.
In the same way as in a DNA molecule, the Centres of
Excellence of Amper replicate the three strategic pillars
of internationalisation, efficiency and innovation which
make up the essence of the rest of the Company.

Baruta 171:
A pioneering and exemplary
management of Public Safety
TheBarutaCentre171,whichintegratesthelocalcareservicesofPolibaruta
(Baruta Police), Traffic Police, Salud Baruta (Baruta Health Clinic) and Civil
Protection, is the most advanced automated emergency service platform
in Venezuela. The Baruta Centre 171 is added to others already operating
and using Amper technology in Spain, France, Argentina and Mexico. Its
technology has been successfully implemented and integrated by Amper
in major Security Forces and Corps, such as the Spanish Guardia Civil
(Civil Guard), the Emergency Military Units of Spain, the Prefecture of
Police of Paris or the Fire Brigade of France, among others.
What was the reasoning behind the idea of this project?
Given that the Department of Public Safety is the coordinating body
between the Municipal Police of the municipal district of Baruta, the Civil
Protection Service and the Directorate for the “Salud Baruta” Immediate
Response through a 171 Emergency Centre, we wanted to integrate the
local care services of Polibaruta (Baruta Police), Traffic Police, Salud Baruta
(Baruta Health Clinic) and Civil Protection to facilitate the management
of public safety by both the authorities responsible for public safety as
well as by the citizens themselves. This would allow us to provide an
immediate solution to the inhabitants of the municipal district in the face
of any contingency, and at the same time optimise the response time.
Responding to this interview:
Mr. Manuel Tangir,
Director of Public Safety in the
municipal district of Baruta.
Caracas, Venezuela.
29. Amper · 29
What were the most important objectives set in
order for this to be carried out?
What we wanted was a modern system by which a
person, when facing an emergency, could call 171 and
reach the pertinent emergency service: ambulance,
paramedics on a motorcycle or even a physician
indicating what needs to be done via telephone. What
we wanted was for what occurred three years ago
not to repeat itself, when a natural disaster produced
some seven hundred landslides and collapsed the
town, highlighting the shortcomings of the then
existing Emergency System. Those were the start up
requirements of the project, which is being carried
out in several phases.
Can you tell us about these phases, the current
status of the Baruta 171 project and its future
plans?
The facilities include a monitoring room, a room to
receive alerts and a connection to all law enforcement,
medical care and rescue agencies of the municipal
district linked via a global positioning system. A
network handles the emergencies identified by a
series of devices such as panic alert apparatuses and
bracelets, mobile phones or landlines with special
buttons which allow citizens to contact the 171
Baruta Centre to immediately report emergencies at
the touch a button.
In the next two years, the mayor of Baruta plans
to continue strengthening the 171 service with
the incorporation of new technology. We are now
incorporating the management of the fleet system
and the panic alert buttons, and the greater objective
is to procure tele-surveillance for the entire municipal
area, maintaining the Baruta municipal district
under surveillance for reasons of public safety, in
the length and breadth of the entire structure thanks
to the consultation from the mobile database units,
the integration of video cameras and other devices
in vehicles, as well as to the sharing of critical
information with the Emergency Service Centre.
Baruta shall remain a municipal district technology
leader, with the most modern technology in public
safety systems existing in the country.
How have the lives of the citizens improved and
what specifically has been made available? What
has been your response so far to these services?
Our Mayor, Gerardo Blyde, said on the day the
service was launched that for us in Baruta, safety is
the priority, as concerns related to crime, to natural
disasters or to health mishaps. Today, 81% of the
population values the municipal police in a positive
manner, and with the launch of this Centre we hope
that no citizen of Baruta has reason not to fully
trust in their law enforcement officials and in the
30. 30 · Annual Report 2011
The Baruta municipal district
shall be under surveillance
for reasons of public safety,
in the length and breadth
of the entire structure
thanks to the consultation
from the mobile database
units, the integration of
video cameras and other
devices in vehicles, as
well as to the sharing of
critical information with the
Emergency Service Centre
healthcare services that we have made available. This includes three
types of devices to manage public safety:
The first device consists of a system which includes a phone with panic
buttons connected to four mobile apparatuses with an emergency button
which, when pressed, automatically makes an alert call to the emergency
service centre of Baruta 171. The system automatically replicates the
call and informs the emergency officials the location and data of the
victim. The mobile units of Baruta have satellite system that will allow
the emergency centre to know at all times the location and movement of
vehicles and, therefore, these devices offer the law enforcement officials
of the mobile units the ability to send and receive critical information with
the emergency service centre.
The second device is a watch or bracelet with a button that, when pressed,
sends a signal to the 171 centre, the officials, upon receiving the signal,
knows the person to which the device belongs right away and where he /
she is located. Lastly, there is another panic button device that is offered.
This is a mobile phone which has a button on its back that when pressed,
makes the emergency call in the same conditions as above.
But there are also significant improvements for the law enforcement
officials: with just the information of the identity card or the license
plate of the car, it is possible to know, for example, the history of tickets
of a driver, his / her criminal record, if any, or if he / she is wanted, and
send the information to all units. It is a means of transmitting important
information in a bidirectional manner.

What was the role of Amper with respects to
its relationship with the Mayoralty of Baruta and
how has the dialogue between both sides been
developed during the phases of the project?
Amper, through its subsidiary in Venezuela Desca,
plays an important role in this development in
terms of public safety. It was one of the companies
which submitted a technology plan with greater
assertivenesswithregardstowhatweweresearching
for and providing solutions to the communications
platforms. This has indeed made it possible for us to
achieve having the most modern emergency centre
in the city of Caracas and perhaps of all Venezuela.
Our relationship with Amper started a year ago:
The mayor of the municipality of Baruta needed to
obtain solutions for the implementation of the 171
emergency system.
Contact with Desca was made which submitted
to us a portfolio of solutions in the field of public
safety and, by virtue of this, we began a relationship
with total transparency and professionalism that
has resulted in the installation of this system in
our municipal district platform which, at present,
has resulted in an effective and true system with a
potential for growth.
What were the reasons that made Amper the
successful bidder?
The situational context to choose the Desca
Company, part of the Amper Group, was simply a
broad search for solutions and visits to large 171
service centres in Caracas, and all over Venezuela. In
all of our visits, we found defects as well as excellent
qualities in these systems. One of the main problems
included connectivity, the formula to achieve greater
connectivity between all the existing communication
systems and that everything needed to be carried out
on the same platform.
Amper was the only company that provided us that
solution, which gave us the platform to integrate all
the communication systems on a single IP voice
platform. This led us, therefore, to select it to develop
our system of municipal emergency services.
32.
33. Global Competency Centres, a shared Backoffice structure,
a matrix approach to the market through a combination of
Regions and Business Units, the rationalisation of the cost
structures, the restructuring of the financial debt and a large
Transformation Project are the key factors for Amper,
a sustainable company because of its efficiency.

Efficiency in Innovation: The
Design Centre in Bangalore
Theneedtoinvestininnovationintimeslikethepresent,devotingalarge
percentage of the sales to improve the purely technological innovation,
to improve the market share and to maintain the consolidated position
is what has led Amper to invest 12.6 million Euros in 2011 to Research,
Development and Innovation. The number of people engaged in
these operations is 151, and their areas of expertise have expanded
to all fields related to R & D + innovation in the solutions of Defence,
Communications and Security in which Amper operates.
This being important, not only with our own technology can we face
the changes affecting the business model or the derivatives of the
effects of globalisation, in which a larger number of competitors
and potential partners are present in virtually every market and are
competitive in price as well as in technology. For this reason, Amper
began a strategy based on open innovation processes in 2011, seeking
agreements with leading global partners such as Telefonica, Google,
Quantenna or Fractalia, as well as collaborations with universities such
as the University of Carlos III, the Polytechnic University of Madrid,
the University of Alcala de Henares, the Autonomous University of
Barcelona, and technology centres such as INTA or Tecnalia, among
others.
In addition, Amper has sought agreements since 2011 which allow
the expansion of the range of technology partners outside of Spain
36. 36 · Annual Report 2011
The fundamental consecutive lines of work are
two: the first line focused on the creation of a new
radio communications integrations card (Tetra,
P25, Tetrapol, DMR, etc.) with analogue and digital
telephony known as GALA, which groups together a
series of cards of the previous system and allows its
management through standard IP protocols (SIP),
which provides unique power and capacity to the
GEMYC-D system. This development has allowed
two short-form GALA cards to replace up to 40 cards
available in the previous GEMYC-D generation.
The GEMYC-D system allows spearheading with
a product portfolio which helps to improve public
safety, as in the 112 emergency centre cases of
the Community of Madrid, awarded as the best
European 112 emergency centre in 2009 and 2010,
and as the largest 112 emergency centre in the
world in Mexico City.
The other line of work aims to develop a new family of
products of onboard mobility, similar to those which
equip the entire fleet of vehicles of the Civil Guard and
to reduce the costs of innovation and thus increase
the efficiency and achieve greater competitiveness
in the global market. This, moreover, in the case
of countries in technological development, entails
a transfer of technology in line with the corporate
social responsibility commitments of Amper.
Agreement with Mistral Solutions
In line with this strategy, a manufacturing agreement
with the Mistral Solutions company in India was
signed in May 2011, following an innovative cost-
sharing scheme which has given the Indian company
the exclusive distribution of security products of
Amper in the region, with an immediate success
in obtaining contracts for the protection of various
high-capacity private ports, and the promotion
of these products to suit the true India to various
clients. In connection with this, Mistral Solutions
has created a Homeland Security division for the
promotion and marketing of Security in India under
the leadership of an Executive Vice President.
Another aspect of the agreement provides for
the redesign of Amper security products and the
commissioning of its production worldwide, and
this has led to the opening of a joint Amper-Mistral
hardware Development Centre and based in
Bangalore.

much of the police forces to allow the management
and access to central databases when they are on
patrol. This group of product consists of a group
of onboard computers known as Family “K”, which
introduce new opportunities to the market, such as
integration, video recording and broadcasting from
the vehicle itself and the management of the voice
communications from the computer itself (using a
mini embedded GEMYC-D).
All these new developments are already in production
and represent the new generation of Amper products
to provide effective security solutions to the Fire
Brigade, Civil Defence, 112 emergency management
centres, Health Emergency Services, Police and
Security Forces, Transport and Public Services
and Border Protection markets as it relates to the
integration of telephone and radio communications,
onboard mobility and the location of assets.
The mass production is also executed in India for
all Amper clients in the entire world, except in cases
where local development is required.
More than 100 people work in this new generation
of products. Not only in the joint Amper-Mistral
hardware centre in Bangalore, with an average of
over 15 Indian engineers over a year, but also in
the competency centres of Amper in Spain (Tres
Cantos and Barcelona, devoted primarily to high
level software development and hardware design), as
well as in the recently opened software development
centre in Colombia (Bogota) does Amper personnel
work for the integration of radio technologies and
standards into the system.
Amper is currently working on the next phase
of the renovation of other products, defining its
target market and the unique features that make
them stay at the technological forefront of the
radio communications management systems in
emergency situations and mobility.

2011 has been for a year marked by Transformation for Amper.
The creation of a work environment which promotes the ongoing
transformation of our Company has been one of our priorities and
its three pillars have marked its course promoting initiatives based
on internationalisation, the continuous search for innovation and the
work on all the factors that could be catalysts for the improvement of
efficiency in all functions and at all organisational levels and from all
geographical areas of the Group.
This is how a project has been coming to fruition, a project which aims
not only to achieve a permanent identity at the heart of our activities,
but aims to develop specific plans to ensure that transformation is a
constant in our approaches and actions, spreading out into our client
relationships, the information systems that support the processes, and
the organisation of our resources in an increasingly multinational and
global company, whose unwavering goal is to achieve sustainability.
The Transformation project of Amper has sought excellence for the
sake of our clients, our shareholders, our partners and, of course, of
all our professionals. And in the quest to formalise the mechanisms to
“industrialise” the aforementioned transformation, the Transformation
Office has emerged, providing support, coordinating and unifying the
efforts of the five projects that make up TransfórmaT, the Comprehensive
Transformation Project of the Company.
In search of global efficiency:
The TransfórmaT project
40. 40 · Annual Report 2011
For its launch, Amper brought together all of
its professionals virtually: nearly two thousand
employees from all over the world were connected
virtually with Sao Paulo on the 15th and 16th of
March, to participate actively in its presentation
conferences, and sharing and commenting on
proposed projects for improving the efficiency of the
Company. Group management, meeting at a hotel
in Sao Paulo, outlined its plans while in constant
communication with the rest of the nearly two
thousand professionals around the world who were
following the interventions from offices in Europe,
Asia, Africa and North and South America, via audio
or video conference, communication webcast and
interaction via chat through a social network created
specifically for the occasion.
Client Satisfaction
Essential and indispensable for any company, it
is also important for Amper to have clients who
are increasingly satisfied with our service and an
organisational culture that is ever more sensitised in
this aspect. For this reason, the project has focused
on the implementation of a continuous measurement,
analysis and reporting system of client satisfaction,
as well as in the development of a communication
model of the results of this measurement, in order
that the responsible personnel for carrying this out
are able to develop and implement improvement
plans, and the organisation and the clients are
aware of these levels of satisfaction and the plans
which have been developed to improve them.
The project also includes the design of a monitoring
model to analyze the performance of the plans.
Client Engineering
The next project directly related to our clients
endeavoured to maximise the use of the engineering
talent and capabilities of global presale of Amper to
increase our attunement with their business needs
and to thus offer them innovative and differentiated
solutions and approximating to their real needs.
The major challenge of this project involves the
design of an efficient operating model replicated
in all operations, which in turn facilitates the
use of the engineering resources and raises the
level of interaction with key clients. In the model,
the orchestration of all functions involved in the
presale operations is essential when producing
differentiating proposals and in channelling the
experience of the best resources through the
creation of global centres of excellence.

Execution and its impact on cash
Fortheexecutionoftheoperationstohaveanoptimal
impact on cash, it is essential to obtain the cash
levels required to fulfil the short, medium and long
term objectives through the transformation of the
components of cash generation and management
of the business cycle. This implies a more efficient
and effective cash management, the maximisation
of opportunities to generate cash in the execution of
projects and the establishment of mechanisms for
the measurement and control of quality of the cash
management and the impact of the execution of the
projects therein.
Sinergias de Backoffice
Achieving some support functions for the operation
in accordance with a multinational and market leader
company as is Amper requires a significant generation
of cost synergies, an increase in efficiency of the
organisation and improved management control. For
this reason, this project has focused on the creation
and implementation of tools which facilitate the back
office functions oriented to processes to enable the
achievement of consistency in regions and to make
growth scalable.
Communication
Lastly, the transformation in Amper requires a neural
network of information between the professionals and
stakeholders, as well as patterns and mechanisms to
generate an image consistent with the Company in
accordance with its strategy and corporate identity.
The combination of communication network and
mechanisms is the natural vehicle to achieve the
integration of all professionals in the culture of
transformation and innovation of Amper and to
transmit the strategic messages internally and
externally to employees, clients, shareholders,
communication media and the public in general,
of a multinational company as is Amper, excellent,
modern, innovative and a market leader.
42. Despite the current financial and economic situation,
Amper has continued its firm commitment to innovation
which, in a globalised scenario like the present, represents
a differential asset with a clear added value.
According to the internal powers or the planned business
models, this commitment is twofold: R & D + innovation or
technology agreements with strategic partners:
a sustainable innovation strategy.

Strategic agreements
Amper has dedicated to its own Research, Development and Innovation
a total of 151 people and a volume of 12.6 million Euros in 2011, continuing
with its firm commitment to innovation. According to the internal powers
or the planned business models, this commitment is twofold: it’s own
R&D+innovation or the technology agreements with strategic partners.
Some of these agreements are described below.
Agreement with Telefónica
On 27 October 2011, Amper and Telefónica signed
a collaboration agreement to develop solutions
for defence, security and communications in Latin
America, which includes the establishment of a joint
proposal directed to large corporations, government
agencies and public bodies in the region that ensure
the security of the State and its citizens. This is an
area in which the two multinational companies already have experience
in working together in Spain and in other European countries. Within
this area of collaboration, Telefónica will provide a unique infrastructure
in the region, especially in terms of coverage, and will also provide its
capacity to integrate complex and cutting-edge projects. For its part,
Amper will provide applications, part of the software and its specific
experience in each product, along with the widespread deployment,
which it already has in the region.
Among the different solutions that integrate the agreement include the
InformationSystemsforCommandandControl,MobileCommunications
and Connectivity, Next Generation Networks, Border Protection
Systems, Emergency Management Systems and Critical Infrastructure
Protection Systems, among others.
46. 46 · Annual Report 2011
These are cutting-edge solutions which have already
been deployed in other countries, including Spain.
Thanks to this agreement, the potential users will
be offered a solution which not only includes the
technical scope thereof, but also includes a solid
regional infrastructure and a long term logistical
support.
The agreement was signed in Madrid by Santiago
Fernandez Valbuena, president of Telefónica Latin
America, and he added that “this collaboration is
another step by Telefónica towards specialisation in
markets that are more mature from a technological
standpoint, offering high value solutions and
fulfilling the expectations of the most demanding
clients.” The agreement was also signed by Jaime
Espinosa de los Monteros, president of Amper, who
explained that “with this agreement, Amper further
strengthens its presence in Latin America and will
send its next generation solutions to that market,
which are already used by our various clients in
other regions”.
Agreement with Google Enterprise
The agreement which Amper signed at the beginning
of 2012 with Google Enterprise to use Google
Earth Enterprise in its security solutions entails a
pioneering integration of Google Earth Enterprise
Portable technology and Google Earth Enterprise
technology in the solutions of Amper.
The use of the map display systems of Google
Enterprise in the family of security products of Amper
C4ISRnemesistm
which is dedicated to emergency
management, protection of critical infrastructures,
border surveillance and mobility systems, and will
natively incorporate the Google Earth Enterprise
technology as its map display system. The agreement
signed with Amper is completely innovative given
that Amper has integrated the Geo Enterprise
technology into its products in an ”end to end” and is
also a pioneer in incorporating the new Google Earth
Enterprise Portable product.
This agreement allows Amper to substantially
increase the range of GIS (Geographic Information
Systems) technology options that Amper offers its
clients by incorporating one of the best-known,
most powerful and recognised technologies on
the market. The emergency management, border
protection and mobility control centres designed by
Amper will now be capable of being managed with the
support of Google Earth Enterprise over the Internet
for centres having access to an Internet connection,
or with Google Earth Enterprise Portable in-situ for the
47. Amper · 47
centres which, for whatever reason, cannot have a permanent Internet
connection, have limited bandwidth in critical situations or have high-level
operational demands.
The Google Earth Enterprise Portable solution offers flexibility when using
integrated geospatial data from the Amper Group, without the need to
access the net. Given that the hardware is portable and independent,
it may be accessed outside the office and will be vitally important in
disaster response, remote operations and remote view situations.
Agreement with Quantenna Communications
In November 2011, Amper and Quantenna Communications announced
the signing of the agreement to provide digital home wireless broadband
services. Quantenna Communications is a leading company in highly
reliable Wi-Fi networks for home entertainment, thanks to 4x4 MIMO
technology for next generation Wi-Fi router and its FTTH (Fibre to the
home) products. This technology will allow Amper to offer broadband
services wirelessly, making it possible to transmit and distribute high
definition television (HDTV), as well as any video format content to
multiple wireless devices. It will also simplify the installation and will
allow these services to reach all households quickly
regardless of its size, through concrete walls, floors and
devices simultaneously and reliably, that is, with the
standards of quality and the functionality required by the
new wireless entertainment products in the home.
Providers of broadband services are decidedly including high
performance and reliable Wi-Fi technologies in new wireless devices
to optimise the experience of the user and expand the applications
for these technologies. Quantenna is a leading provider of Wi-Fi 4x4
48. 48 · Annual Report 2011
MIMO solutions which allow the manufacturers to
eliminate cables and provide broadband video and
TV services to the homes of the consumers.
Amper has taken another step with this agreement
in its mission to facilitate the transformation of
the market towards new business models and in
providing high added value communication solutions
to the most demanding clients. The agreement will
certainly strengthen the presence of Amper in Spain
in facilitating the implementation of its next generation
solutions in these markets.
Agreement with Fractalia Software
Amper and Fractalia Software established in 2011
a strategic partnership to develop and market
solutions of managed services capitalising on two of
the major values of the Amper Group: its important
recognition and penetration in the sector of
telecommunications service providers and its local
presence in all relevant markets of Latin America.
The range of services managed by Amper regarding
Fractalia solutions is framed within the IP Remote
Management Infrastructure (GRIIP, for its acronym
in Spanish) programme, a transversal programme
which aims to project the powerful integration
capabilities of Amper systems in the outsourcing of
services requirements of its clients.

There is much talk today of the transformative impact and effect
which, on a global level, “the cloud” is producing in many areas. The
cloud in Amper is one of the catalysts of our vision to accelerate the
sectoral transformation which offers our clients a unique opportunity
for growth and differentiation in their markets.
In order to perform their daily activities, and for the achievement of the
medium and long term objectives of almost all companies or public
institutions, the strategic use of the Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) which has become an authentic lever for the
transformation of any area is absolutely necessary today. Thanks to the
above, the business, social, educational, governmental and individual
development on the planet has been possible and has been enhanced,
so that development, progress and innovation are now inseparable
from ICT. However, our daily experience is so imbued in them that the
essence of their role goes unnoticed, given that familiarity has made
them virtually “invisible” to us.
But for Amper, its visibility and relevance are very apparent, and
therefore we have tried to respond to the major dilemma that many of
our clients face every day: even though it is very clear to the individual
expectations and the organisational strategy how ICT can help
transform their business activity, making it smoother and less limited,
in practice, the technology platform that is available to them was not
necessarily conceived or executed under these premises. The cause
is the rapid development that the ICT has experienced in recent years,
The role of Amper in the cloud
50. 50 · Annual Report 2011
creating enormous opportunities and challenges at
the same time.
All roads lead to the cloud
The cloud is perhaps the epitome of the changes
and developments that have been produced in ICT
in recent years.
Its concept is simple to understand: in 1880,
Thomas Alva Edison essentially patented the first
cloud when he conceived the centralised generation
model and a network for the distribution of electrical
energy. Today we no longer ask ourselves if the
energy that we use in our homes is generated in a
nuclear plant or in a hydroelectric plant, nor how it
reaches our home. We simply press the switch and
we expect to enjoy the convenience of having an
electric service regardless of the device that we use,
paying no more and no less than what corresponds
to the amount of energy that we actually consumed.
That is how we want the service based on an “ICT
in the cloud” model to be: easy, simple, convenient,
flexible, adjusted to our changing needs of use,
with immediate and secure availability, and with
unlimited features.
The cloud proposal of Amper lies precisely in the
realisation of this concept in which the ICT platform
that supports our clients operates under these
assumptions and makes possible the transformation
of their business by creating a virtuous cycle of
growth and differentiation. In Amper, we facilitate
the development towards this new model in which
technology is adapted to the business and not vice
versa, in which the barriers and limitations of what
can be done are no longer defined by the device or
the place in which users find themselves, in which
communication and collaboration are as flexible and
secure as the business requires, in which the capacity
to respond to the competitive environment can be
achieved in minutes rather than in weeks and in which
technology becomes “invisible” and is no longer
an obstacle to progress but rather facilitates and
accelerates the individual and collective productivity.
Public, private and hybrid Clouds
Our approach to cloud solutions facilitates the
safe integration of any type of device, application
and service in the virtual work environment of
the company, including scenarios such as BYOD
(Bring Your Own Device), VDI environments (Virtual
Desktop Infrastructure) and the management of jobs;
all supported in infrastructures of next generation

Banking and Finance, Local Government, Energy,
Telecommunications and many more. In Amper, our
commitment is to provide a comprehensive approach
to these solutions, adapting the best practices and
experiences and integrating in-house and third-party
technologies with our talent to maximise the benefits
of these initiatives. A clear example of how we have
implemented these concepts in Amper is that of our
CloudBranch architecture.
CloudBranch:
the transformation of the client
experience in the financial sector
In the financial services sector, it is imperative
to monetise the spaces of the agencies and
commercial offices, turning them into spaces which
are essentially oriented to the sale of services,
capable of generating and capitalising on business
opportunities. This strategy, which focuses on client
experience, pursues profitable growth, an increase of
revenue and cost optimisation of the branches. But
at the same time it is essential to provide equivalent
levels of access, services, information and support
for the various virtual offices through which financial
institutions interact with their clients: Website, mobile
banking applications (m-banking), virtual treasury, or
social media outlets, among others.
The CloudBranch reference architecture of Amper
offers a conceptual environment to accelerate the
transformation of the client experience in financial
institutions. CloudBranch, based on the fundamental
principles of the cloud, presents a methodology of
work and a range of solutions designed to enhance
the interaction of resources, assets and systems of
the organisation, developing specific plans for the
transformation of the communications infrastructure,
information processing, the collaboration and
relationship with the end client that ultimately executes
anewmodelofinteractionwhichismorefluid,dynamic
and flexible and relieves the institutions from the
limitations imposed by the traditional platforms and
which affects their ability to respond to the increasing
expectations of its clients.
CloudBranch is a clear example of how Amper assists
organisations in the evolution of their communication
and information architecture, offering a full range
of design, implementation, support and operation
servicesforthefullrangeoftechnologiesandsolutions
that make the experience possible, enriched with a
modern branch of financial services, regardless of
location, a mechanism and environment where the
clients can be found.

Committed to Sectoral Transformation
The journey to the cloud offers significant benefits for all sectors of
economic activity: beyond being instrumental in the optimisation of
costs, the adoption of a business architecture based on the cloud can
become a powerful lever for competitive differentiation to spur innovation
and to take the productivity levels of the company to new heights.
The essential role of Amper in the cloud is precisely th at of supporting
its clients with a clear vision of how, by means of the cloud, the
business activity can be transformed and the risks can be minimised,
all the while maintaining a sure course to achieve the expected results.
In Amper, we understand how to make the cloud a key element to
accelerate the sectoral transformation, and in this way make the future
possible, today.
