Outlook
Cavins said, "Work force virtualization has grown over 800% in the last five years, and mobile messaging is one of the world's fastest growing communication mediums. With our recent WebMessenger acquisition, we'll be extending FUZE to mobile phones with a robust, real-time, enterprise-class, mobile messaging, collaboration capability that is platform agnostic. We also acquired Intelligent Gadgets, which further differentiates FUZE by enabling real-time, high-definition video, documents and images to be shared in sync between browsers anywhere in the world.
"We believe that FUZE and Web Messenger products offer a sizable revenue opportunity based on the success of currently marketed collaboration, conferencing and mobile communications products that have comparatively limited functionality. We have a strong IP position, solid technical and management expertise and ample cash to fund our business plan. With this combination, our goal is to emerge as a successful growth company and secure a leading global collaboration and conferencing market position," Cavins concluded.
