Openet Expects Revenues of €75M in 2010 ; Getting Ready for IPO

 
John Collins from the IRISHTIME.com reports that "OPENET TELECOM posted its first profit last year as turnover grew almost 50% to €46.1M and the company says it is still planning for a Nasdaq flotation ..  posted a pre-tax profit of €1.2M compared to a loss of €2.3M in 2008, in accounts seen by The Irish Times"

See "First profit for Openet as lawsuit delays flotation" - here.

Openet's CEO Niall Norton said "Openet had planned to be “IPO ready in 2011” but this would be delayed due to a lawsuit filed by Amdocs [here], a much larger Israeli competitor, in the US courts .. the company expected to increase revenues in 2010 to around €75M .. If a flotation is delayed the company would consider going to its shareholders for bridging finance .. Openet has developed a very successful relationship with Cisco [here and here] but it has similar relationships with IBM and Juniper Networks. IBM yesterday highlighted Openet as one of its key partners in its strategy regarding cloud computing for service providers."
