DYS Analytics Achieves Record Revenue and Profitability in Fiscal 2005; Validates Analysts' Predictions of Strong Email/IM Management Market; DYS Helps IT Staffs Manage Today's Top Messaging Platforms, Assure Swift Collaboration

Business Wire, Jan 12, 2006

WELLESLEY, Mass. -- DYS Analytics, Inc., a privately held firm whose innovative products and services manage today's top messaging platforms, announced record annual revenue and highest profitability during fiscal year 2005. The company's solid performance attests to strong market demand for email and eMeeting/IM management solutions, which analysts estimate as growing at 23 percent annually for email management(1) and 37 percent annually for IM management solutions(2). New named account sales as well as strong license growth in the existing customer base highlight DYS' leadership among IT executives chartered with achieving optimal performance from their messaging systems.

DYS FY2005 Business Highlights:

--In FY'05 DYS recorded the highest revenue in its history, up 20% over FY'04

--Product license revenue and profitability increased quarter over quarter from FY'04

--Highest profitability in DYS' history

--Two-thirds of license transactions in the year came from sales to first-time customers

--License sales to European-based multinationals grew with revenue, representing 30% of license revenue

--Over 99% of licensed seats due for renewal during the year were renewed

--Reflecting a vibrant enterprise instant messaging market, DYS' real-time collaboration management products represented over 20% of total license revenue

"When email and IM slows or goes down, everyone in the company knows. Critical business processes halt and IT is instantly put in the hot seat," said Stefan Mehlhorn, CEO of DYS Analytics. "DYS is riding the wave of continued growth in deploying message management solutions by both large and mid-size organizations. Our fiscal 2005 results demonstrate our market leadership among a distinguished group of peers."

In 2005, organizations spent approximately $65 per user for a 20,000-seat Microsoft Exchange 2003 network for admin, migration/upgrade and downtime costs. These costs were even higher at smaller firms -- an estimated $141 per user. Yet some 90 percent of IBM Lotus Domino mailboxes and 85 percent of Microsoft Exchange mailboxes remain "unmanaged" while only 11 percent of organizations have implemented IM management solutions(3). The market opportunity is large and continues to grow.

DYS Analytics revenues ranked third behind only Microsoft and BMC among messaging management players in the recent Radicati study, and ahead of a dozen other vendors. Throughout 2005, DYS added customers, product offerings and industry partnerships that reinforced its market leadership:

--DYS now helps optimize email and IM performance at

six of the world's top 10 pharmaceutical firms,

five of the top 10 management consulting firms

five of the top 10 financial services firms

--Debuted major solutions to help IT "clean up" and optimize global collaboration networks

--Expanded its customer base among mid-market organizations

--Deepened its extensive business relationships with IBM and Microsoft

--Established marketing partnerships with CA and continued to grow its CSC sales partnership

During fiscal 2006, DYS will expand its leadership by releasing solutions for the unaddressed issue of outbound email/IM management. The company will also continue expanding its platform offerings with new capabilities that support additional Microsoft and IBM collaborative applications.
