OptiSystems Solutions, Ltd. is a provider of systems management software. The company's principal product, "Energizer" provides what they claim is a unique systems management solution that controls and enhances software performance and availability in real time. To date they have licensed a number of "Fortune 100" companies to use the
Energizer software including but not limited to: American Express, Sysco Corporation, Dow Chemical, Goodyear Tire & Rubber, Loews Corp. and most recently IBM Global Services. Energizer for CICS is a real time performance manager for the IBM developed, industry standard, CICS on-line transaction processing environment.
Energizer for CICS significantly increases transaction throughput, reduces CPU utilization while improving system availability by eliminating outages. The Energizer product line includes Energizer for CICS, Energizer for R/2 and QuickStart for R/2.Currently,
OptiSystems is developing its Energizer for R/3 family of products the first of which is expected to be released in the third quarter of 1998. (R/2 and R/3 are registered trademarks of SAP AG and CICS is a registered trademark of IBM In 1996, revenues from energizer products accounted for almost 50% of total company revenues, of this, better than 25% were accounted for by sales to Dow. That figure is substantially less today and the company believes that that percentage will continue to decline in the future as the customer base is enlarged.
It appears to me that OptiSystems elected to follow the "build a better mouse trap" philosophy. They developed and have successfully marketed a software system that decreases the reliance on extensive human intervention to solve problems and in place of that method utilize a proactive "real-time" solution to address MIS problems based on the business needs of the enterprise rather than the technical attributes of the computer system.
It is strongly suggested that a careful reading of the IPO prospectus is necessary to fully understand the capabilities and future prospects for this company.
Those who have an understanding of SAP's growth potential are invited to offer their
input.
