INOVAWARE
REPORTS STRONG GROWTH AND SUCCESS FOR 2002
|
Honolulu, HI 01/13/03 Inovaware Corporation,
a leading provider of billing and customer management
software for the next-generation Internet services
and telecommunication industry, today announced a
summary of operational results from 2002.
"We are pleased to announce that the company has
surpassed revenue goals for the year despite the sluggish
telecommunications market environment," stated Marc
Rapoza, CFO at Inovaware. "We have been very active
with new customers in North America and Europe, and
solidified relationships with current customers who
have upgraded. The strong momentum we have built in
recent months is continuing into the new year as we
have already signed two significant deals. In this
though economic environment, Inovaware's message of
operating expense reduction and increased profit margins
has resonated well with customers."
In the last quarter of 2002, Inovaware also raised
a first round of funding to be used to accelerate
sales, marketing and development activities. "We have
been growing rapidly since 1996 without requiring
outside capital to fund growth, unlike a lot of now
defunct companies of the dotcom era," continued Marc
Rapoza. "We run a profitable business, and the fact
that we succeeded in attracting funding given the
present capital market conditions is a vote of confidence
for the future of the company."
Asia has also been a bright spot for Inovaware.
Shiego Kaizu, VP Asia-Pacific at Inovaware, is bullish
on the company's results in Asia. "Inovaware continues
to develop strong ties to the telecommunications industry
in Japan and the rest of Asia. We have won major deals
last year, including a recent contract in Vietnam,
and the efforts we have put in developing our Asian
presence will continue to pay off this year."
Inovaware has nurtured close ties with leading palyers
in Asia such as Microsoft and HP, as well as with
a slew of local resellers/integrators including SSE,
Toshiba Engineering, OTC, SYSCOM and AstraGraphia
IT.
