Michael A. Morrison, President and Chief Executive Officer of Datawatch, said, “As we finish the first full quarter since we began our transition, we believe we are in a much improved position to generate growth in the quarters and years ahead. We made several changes to our operations throughout the quarter that provide a solid foundation for future growth. We continued to strengthen our sales and marketing organizations with additional hires of experienced industry professionals, increased our investment in marketing and lead generation programs, and aligned our operations around our new report analytics strategy. By shifting our sales and marketing investments from management and back office to customer-facing roles and initiatives, we have been able to significantly increase the focus on selling activities without an overall increase in our sales and marketing costs. As we exited the quarter, we began to see these investments and activities yield results in the form of stronger pipelines and improved execution around strategic enterprise opportunities that are in line with our overall growth strategy. We see more proof every day that the Monarch Report Analytics platform offers a compelling value proposition for the market, and we intend to capitalize on that opportunity with a focused effort and strategy.”

He added, "After the quarter ended, we introduced Monarch 11, which was re-architected to appeal to a broader segment of business users and strengthens our overall product portfolio. Monarch 11 delivers enhancements in three key areas: user experience, data modeling and scalability. These enhancements will make it easier and faster for organizations to map existing standard transaction system reports, text files, PDFs, HTML files and other semi-structured business documents into dynamic, flexible, self-service reporting and analytic applications. With the Monarch Report Analytics platform, including Monarch 11, enterprises will be able to implement a complete business analytics solution which includes the valuable information contained in the vast amount of reports and business documents which exist throughout organizations today.”
