Business Description

We are a leading provider of object-oriented data management and data integration software that forms a critical component of the infrastructure of enterprise computing. Companies use our solutions to solve complex data management and data integration problems. To address these problems, we design, develop, market and support database management systems, data access and data integration products. We also provide related product support, training and consulting services to assist users in developing and deploying software applications based on our products. We operate our business within a single operating segment that we refer to as Data Management.

We provide sophisticated data management, data access and data integration software solutions designed to address the complex data management needs of enterprises and providers of products requiring data management functions. Our products are typically deployed to manage data for business systems to enable these systems to access and integrate data necessary for their data management applications. Our Versant Developer Suite, or VDS and Versant Open Access product offerings are used primarily by larger enterprises, such as technology providers, telecommunications carriers, government defense agencies and defense contractors, healthcare companies and companies in the financial services and transportation industries, each of which have significant large-scale data management requirements. With the incorporation of Poet’s FastObjects solution into our product line following our March 2004 merger with Poet, we have expanded the scope of our solutions to also address data management needs of smaller business systems. Our customers’ data management needs can involve many business functions, ranging from management of the use and sharing of a company’s internal enterprise data to the processing of externally originated information such as customer enrollment, billing and payment transaction data. Our solutions have also been used to solve complex data management issues such as fraud detection risk analysis and yield management. Our data access products deliver enterprise class data access to a variety of data management systems, including our own.
