New Win
The new win is with a customer that is a well-known global technology leader who selected MIND's PhonEX ONE Call Accounting solution, to support the global roll out of Cisco Telephony providing management reports on network utilization, general telephony traffic and costs throughout its worldwide organization. PhonEX ONE was chosen after a long selection process mainly as a result of its wealth of configurable reports and flexible functionality as well as its close integration with Cisco equipment. This win adds to a previously announced major global implementation with another worldwide technology leader. MIND has a proven record of providing a centralized call accounting solution that can successfully monitor and report on large size global deployments.

Monica Iancu, MIND CEO, commented: "As we previously announced, mainly due to consolidation of platforms at existing customers, some agreements were not renewed in 2012 and we feel the negative impact on our revenues and profitability.

As we support a more comprehensive functionality, our projects become more complex and the risk of on-time and on-budget implementation increases. The customers that implement larger size deals conduct lengthy and complex processes and our cost increases as the length of the complete process increases. We need to support each opportunity during the time required for the customer to determine their specifications and the time required for the customer to build up their network infrastructure and of course through the deployment and the first few months after going live. At the same time, competition is intense and the pricing for each project needs to be modest in order to win.

As always we focus on our targets: satisfied customers, successful project implementations, winning new business and profitability."
