On August 16, 2001 SYNAVANT announced its intention to implement a restructuring program.

Actions taken during the third quarter include the simplification of the senior leadership team structure, announced on August 21, the elimination of approximately 70 positions, the refocusing Noun 1. refocusing - focusing again

 region to achieve greater customer focus.

Operating Outlook

"Although the slow-down in PRM decision-making has affected our revenue growth this quarter, the strength of our existing customer relationships and increased customer responsiveness continues to deliver results, evidenced by our two major US contract wins this quarter," said Yetter. "We are making good progress in our efforts to win new business and, in conjunction with our business transformation activities, I am confident that SYNAVANT will continue to strengthen its position," he concluded.
