Growth Factors

It has steel, textile equipment, chemical, plastics, clothing, and electronics industries.  said: "DataWorks' strong growth during the first nine months of 1996 has been driven by our focus on meeting the varied requirements of midrange midrange Epidemiology The halfway point or midpoint in a set of observations; for most data, MR is calculated as the sum of the smallest observation and the largest observation, divided by 2; for age data, one is added to the numerator; a midrange is usually  manufacturers with `right-sized' ERP systems.

"During the third quarter, to enhance our product offerings to the low end of the ERP midrange manufacturing market -- companies with annual revenues of $3 million to $25 million -- we acquired DCD Corp. This acquisition allows us to provide the smaller manufacturer with an ERP system that meets their specific requirements for ease of use, rapid installation and low cost. These new product additions complement our DataFlo and ManFact systems which target the $25 million to $200 million manufacturer.

"The DCD acquisition brings 3,000-plus customers to DataWorks, including many rapidly growing manufacturers. As these companies expand, DataWorks plans to provide them with an easy migration path to our other larger, more comprehensive ERP products. We believe DataWorks' ease of migration will make it attractive for them to stay with the same software supplier, positively impacting our long-term Long-term

 growth potential.

"Staying in the forefront of midrange manufacturing trends, in the third quarter, we also announced object-oriented versions of our DataFlo and ManFact products. The escalating demand for these object-oriented ERP systems is driven by the increased need for stronger ease of use and customization -- key factors in a midrange manufacturer's selection of an information system today. Currently we plan to have these products generally available in 1997."

Customer Mix

Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Norman R. Farquhar said: "Our early entry into offering our full line of ERP systems on Microsoft NT continues to strengthen our leadership position within the midrange market, where manufacturers have limited IS departments and smaller budgets than the larger, Fortune 1000 companies. During the third quarter, we again saw increased growth in sales of our ERP systems running in the NT environment."

Revenue Gains

Farquhar said: "We are pleased to see continued revenue growth in the software and service categories which comprised 58 percent and 35 percent, respectively, of 1996 third quarter revenues. DataWorks continues to de-emphasize hardware sales which accounted for 7 percent of 1996 third quarter revenues compared to 13 percent in the same period a year ago."
