Datawatch however did accomplish a great deal toward improving upon and expanding its software product offerings. In particular, with the introduction of Monarch/ES(TM), our new report warehouse and the enhancements to our Q-Support/Quetzal products, Datawatch has increased its enterprise-wide software solutions and has begun a campaign to ensure that the business world is aware of the many benefits that can be derived from the implementation of these software applications. With the October 1997 sale of our Macintosh software products to Dr Solomon's Software and the company's subsequent reorganization, Datawatch now has the financial strength and business focus on which to begin the new year. During fiscal 1998 we look forward to the challenge of increasing our products sales, with the goal of significantly improving our bottom line results.'' biz.yahoo.com
