Management Commentary

“We posted strong sequential revenue growth in the fourth quarter as we leveraged our market position and refined our sales strategy,” said Donovan Jones, President and Chief Executive Officer. “This year, we increased our focus on enterprise sales by expanding our direct sales force, by launching our Master Distribution Program with a network of over 30,000 Value Added Resellers and by entering the Mobile Device Management Market. We also brought certain key deals in-house, providing greater visibility and control over key reference accounts, especially in Europe where we are experiencing a resurgence of interest in our Operator OTT solutions. Looking ahead into fiscal 2015, we will continue to build our channel and further develop our sales organization as we return to growth in key markets.”
