''We are very pleased with our financial performance given our objectives
of investing in building infrastructure for rapid growth,' said Kevin Vachon,
Chairman and CEO. With our clients and client prospects beyond their Y2K
concerns, we are very excited about accelerated growth for the balance of
fiscal 2000 and beyond.'
In addition to meeting its financial targets, Nuvo attained important
operational accomplishments during the quarter, including:
- Increase during the quarter in the number of networks managed from 30
to 39;
- Continued blue-chip customer development from our main channel
partners;
- Focused R&D spending being 6% of sales, resulting in the launch on
January 26th, 2000 of webCenter (being the complete webification of
Nuvo's rNMS Series core services) and new engineering services launched
February 7, 2000;
- Expansion of sales and marketing, with key new hires in the areas of
direct sales, product management, marketing and channel management.
During the quarter, market awareness of remote network management
services continued to grow. In addition to expanded industry coverage, the
following recent statistics further highlight the market opportunity for Nuvo:
- The worldwide market for Managed Network Services (a component of
Nuvo's market) is growing faster than originally projected with network
operations representing the fastest growth portion of MNS, at 58% of a
total MNS market of US$4.5 billion by 2002 (Yankee Group 12/99);
- Internet traffic is growing at a rate of 100% every 3 months and other
packet data traffic is growing by 70% annually (AT&T 2/00).
With the explosive growth in corporate data network traffic and the trend
to outsourcing continuing, Nuvo, with its scaleable network management
infrastructure in place, is ideally positioned to exploit this opportunity in
the remainder of fiscal 2000 and beyond.
Nuvo provides remote network management services to enterprises requiring
mission-critical solutions for their complex network infrastructures.
