In an interview Friday, Marconi Commerce Systems President David Kaehler said Marconi Plc.’s recent restructuring—which placed the Commerce Systems unit among a group of so-called “noncore” business units to be “managed for value,” according to statements released by the parent company this week—does not necessarily mean the company is being positioned for sale.

As for the likelihood of a sale, Kaehler said that while the financial woes of Marconi Commerce’s parent company might provide an opportunity for a buyer who understands the business, he warned the cyclical nature of the petroleum industry is not for the feint of heart.
