David L. Snell, Ivrnet's Chief Executive Officer comments, "We are extremely excited about entering into our third round of financing in order to facilitate attainment of our Company's long term business goals.
Fiscal 2014 was and Q1/Q2 2015 continue to be pivotal periods for our company. Positive business results have been realized through adherence to and execution of our business reorganization and restructuring plan. Of note are the following.
- Human resource full time equivalents in internal cost center positions were further reduced.
- Client and strategic partner product and service focus forums were and continue to be held by our Product and Sales groups. These forums are instrumental in ensuring that our products and services continue to meet and/or exceed the specific and high demands of our end users and are also critical in predicting future market trends.
- Further refinement of processes in the Development and Project Management areas of our business were implemented.
- A targeted Sales and Product plan along with congruent resource matching has been finalized and positioned for implementation."
Expanding on David Snell's comments above, Chris Topolniski, Ivrnet's Chief Operating Officer adds, "The focus forums Mr. Snell references have assisted us immeasurably in determining where our Product, Development and Sales efforts need to be focused at this critical juncture. Specifically, continued Development of our redesigned core software platform, Ivrnet Central; our market leading online and telephony based credit card payment processing products, SafePay/TelePay; and also, our market proven SMS based communication product suites, including AdCentral and SafeTeam.
It's also important to note that the continued Development efforts, in all product areas denoted above, have already led to decreased operational and support costs for Ivrnet. This, in turn, will lead to increased profit margins per product line as efficiencies and scalabilities are consistently being improved with each passing development and implementation cycle.
Additionally, these efforts have and continue to be conducted in concert with the continued support and maintenance of key legacy-based products and services, so as to facilitate sustainable client retention levels and the corresponding monthly recurring revenue streams associated with same.
The refinements and process enhancements in our Development and Project Management areas, to which Mr. Snell refers, have already enabled us to meet and/or exceed target delivery dates on key milestones relating to our newest products and project deliverables. This, in turn, has enabled us to move to the next stage of our rebuild/restructuring strategy and focus on an aggressive Sales and Marketing campaign for these targeted product lines. Being able to focus on the introduction and sale of these new and improved product lines into the market has enabled us to make the directional change to a truly productized, ROI-based sales organization. We are now positioned to penetrate metrics where our products will generate the highest rate of return for our company and its shareholders. To that end, Ivrnet has recently added two Sales Specialists and two Senior Product/Business Development Specialists, so as to facilitate our enhanced sales centric business vision and drive new-sales based monthly recurring revenues.
By continuing to "give people back their time" through the design, build and implementation of our proprietary business automation software products, Ivrnet will continue to both reduce operational costs and drive revenue for our valued clients and strategic business partners."
