The technology company, which runs computer systems of clients from remote locations, said the IBM deal marks its first licensed product sale. "We are now in a position to offer customers and partners worldwide the option of both services and licensed solutions," said chief executive Kevin Vachon. The IBM deal represents a jump of more than 20 per cent over Nuvo's annual sales of $9.4 million. IBM sells Nuvo's network management service in North America under the remote network Xpert brand. The new deal will give IBM's operation in La Gaude, France, a licence to sell Nuvo proprietary software and network processes. Nuvo stock fell one cent to 50 cents prior to the announcement. With a workforce of more than 100, Nuvo runs the data networking operations of many companies and government organizations. Nuvo had earlier reported that sales rose 75 per cent to $2.9 million and losses increased more than eight times to $286,602 in the quarter ending Sept. 30 compared with the year-earlier period. It said the losses reflected investments in business growth, which has generated 12 straight quarters of sales increases. The company negotiated $5.3 million in additional venture capital in July to finance growth.
