"Attunity's profitable operation puts it in a very select group amongst the public software companies focused on the integration market," said Paul MacKay, chief executive officer of Attunity.

"In the current economic climate, enterprises are looking to maximize the value of existing mainframe and legacy investments. Attunity's core competency A core competency is something that a firm can do well and that meets the following three conditions specified by Hamel and Prahalad (1990):
  1. It provides customer benefits
  2. It is hard for competitors to imitate
  3. It can be leveraged widely to many products and markets.
 -- the ability to deliver rapid implementations with unsurpassed performance and reliability -- is even more desirable at times like these when budgets are being squeezed and every dollar spent must provide demonstrable ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). ."

"The second consecutive quarter of growth, profitability and cash flow positive operations mark another significant step in Attunity's turnaround. Although we expect the third quarter to be challenging, our outlook is again for profitability."
