commitment to delivering and supporting technologically
superior software products to its customers. Sanjiv and
Henry bring to the Board highly successful backgrounds in
managing complex software development and marketing
programs. Each had demonstrated throughout his career the
ability to create shareholder value by managing the constant
challenge of product development and evolution that all
technology companies face. Their input and guidance will
help us to continue the rapid growth of our market-leading
