WALTHAM, Mass. – March
10, 2008 – OATSystems today
announced record Q4 2007 performance and
enthusiastic market adoption of the company’s
packaged RFID-enabled solutions.
Q4 highlights include the following:
- License
revenue set a new record with substantial
quarter-over-quarter growth throughout the
year.
- Utilization and
billing rates were up significantly in services – further
validating the maturing of the market and
value of products and services delivered
by the company.
- Maintenance renewal
rates continue to be strong with more than
90% of customers renewing agreements – demonstrating
continued commitment from OAT’s cornerstone
customer base.
- OAT was selected
for several new enterprise deployments in
industrial manufacturing, retail and consumer
products with its customer base now exceeding
100 companies worldwide.
“It is gratifying to see the strong
market acceptance of OAT’s strategy
and focus on packaged solutions,” said
Michael George, OATSystems’ chief executive
officer. “The new management team and
most of the current sales force were brought
on in early 2007 to accelerate the company’s
migration to a greater focus on packaged applications
and solutions for the industrial manufacturing,
retail and consumer products sectors. OAT
is poised to continue this trend with a strong
pipeline of opportunities in 2008.”
The company’s emphasis on delivering
packaged solutions enables industrial manufacturers,
retailers and consumer product companies to
optimize their operations with less risk,
less cost and less time. This approach has
generated key wins with prominent leaders
in each segment, with many more in the pipeline.
While this was a breakout quarter for OAT’s
asset tracking business, the company continues
to grow its installed base and expand its
retail business: OAT recently signed a sizable
license and maintenance contract with a consumer
packaged goods firm and also added a large
department store chain to its customer base.
