Nuvo Networks lands IBM contract in France
Bert Hill
The Ottawa Citizen

Nuvo Networks has landed its first big contract outside North America with a $2.2-million deal with International Business Machines in France.

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.

What if

the thrust of the 1.4 million spent on R&D in 2000 was the expense of landing the I.B.M. FRANCE deal? What if the 2.2 million contract is a lump sum upfront payment with future royalties paid out to 2001? Is it possible that our new C.F.O is planning a surprise for us at the upcoming A.G.M.? When I work the numbers I see profitability in 2001! comments? canabucks long and strong...
