Statements in this news release, and management's comments and responses to questions during the earnings call referenced in this release, concerning future results, performance or expectations, the results of the company's development efforts, and the benefits to clients of Eclipsys solutions are forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ from those projected due to a variety of risks and uncertainties. Sales may be slower than expected due to market conditions, competition, and other factors. Costs may be greater than anticipated due to the potential need to increase spending to ensure performance in accordance with commitments to clients. Software development may take longer and cost more than expected, and incorporation of anticipated features and functionality may be delayed, due to various factors including programming and integration challenges and resource constraints. Implementation and customization of Eclipsys software is complex and time-consuming. Contract results depend upon a variety of factors and can vary by client. Each client's circumstances are unique and may include unforeseen issues that make it more difficult than anticipated to implement or derive benefit from software, outsourcing or consulting services. The success and timeliness of the company's services often depend at least in part upon client involvement, which can be difficult to control. Eclipsys is required to meet specified performance standards, and client contracts can be terminated or their scope reduced under certain circumstances. More information about company risks is available in recent Form 10-K, 10-Q and other filings made by Eclipsys from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
