July 9, 1998: $33 Million in "Year 2000" Orders in Fiscal 1998
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., July 9 /PRNewswire/ -- TAVA Technologies TAVA a global
supplier of integrated manufacturing systems, reported that it had received new orders
of more than $33,000,000 for Y2k tools and services in its fiscal 1998 ending June 30,
1998. Of this total $25,000,000 was received in the company's fiscal fourth quarter.
The orders were split almost evenly in content between tools and services and include
international and domestic engagements across a wide range of industries. Order values
generally represent Plant Y2k One CD-ROM purchases, estimated compliance
database reports, training and estimated services through the specific project stage.
Typical order execution cycles range from 90 to 180 days.
Kevin Fallon, TAVA C.O.O. said, "Most all of this activity was for the initial
inventory and assessment stages of client programs. These are necessary first
steps before conversion planning and remediation. Conversion planning and remediation
services generally will be covered by separate orders issued after the assessment
process is complete." He added, "Our business pipeline continues to grow as does the
scope of our opportunity. We expect new orders to continue at the current quarterly
rate. We are continuing to build our organization to support this business level, and have
recently opened new offices in both Minneapolis and Houston to better support our
growing client base. Headcount at the close of June was 470, up from 320 on
December 31, 1997. We continue to have good success with our recruiting efforts."
Jenkins noted, "Our database of compliance information on factory automation
and process control elements now stands at more than 30,000 researched items
and is increasing currently at more than 1000 items per week. The database,
when combined with our tool based delivery, provides very significant cycle time
reduction in the critical inventory and assessment stages of client programs. It is
important to note that even with the increased database population, we still find 12%
to 18% of that population to be either non-compliant or suspec."
