Dow Jones Description

We generate substantially all of our revenues from the insurance, healthcare, telecommunications, financial services and retail markets. Our customers typically fund purchases of our software and services out of their lines of business and information technology budgets. As a result, our revenues are heavily influenced by our customers' long-term business outlook and willingness to invest in new enterprise information systems and business applications. Our business, like other businesses, has been impacted and continues to be impacted by the global economic recession. Unprecedented market conditions include illiquid credit markets, volatile equity markets, dramatic fluctuations in foreign currency rates and economic recession, all of which have adversely impacted our business. Our operations and performance depend on our customers having adequate resources to purchase our products and services. The unprecedented turmoil in the credit markets and the global economic downturn generally adversely impacts our customers and potential customers. These economic conditions have not shown significant improvement despite government intervention globally, and may remain volatile and uncertain for the foreseeable future. ...
