| Competition |
| The market in which the Company competes is intensely competitive and characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving standards. Companies offering competitive products vary in the scope and breadth of the products and services offered and include: (i) providers of security analysis and audit products, such as Axent Technologies, Inc. and Security Dynamics Technologies, Inc.; (ii) providers of standalone inventory and asset management products such as Tally Systems Corp.; (iii) providers of LAN desktop management suites, such as Intel Corporation, Hewlett-Packard Company and Microsoft Corporation; and (iv) providers of Year 2000 assessment products such as Network Associates, Inc. In addition, the native tools provided by Novell, Inc. and third-party tools provided by certain vendors, such as Computer Associates, Inc. and other companies, may compete with certain management features of the Company's products. The Company has experienced, and expects to continue to experience, increased competition from current and potential competitors, many of whom have greater name recognition, a larger installed customer base and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, and other resources than the Company. Such competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than the Company. The Company expects additional competition as other established and emerging companies enter into the systems management software market and new products and technologies are introduced. Increased competition could result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced gross margins, longer sales cycles and loss of market share, any of which would materially adversely affect the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. |
| Business Plan |
| The Company's objective is to be the leading provider of systems management software for enterprise networks. Key elements of the Company's strategy to achieve these objectives include: (I) Enhance Leadership Position in Security Assessment Software, (ii) Enhance Systems Administration Capabilities, (iii) Apply Query-based Management to New Applications, (iv) Expand Direct Telesales Model, (v) Leverage Existing Customer Base and (vi) Strengthen Strategic Relationships. |
| Use of Proceeds |
