Ottawa, Ontario (March 16, 2019) – Martello Technologies Group Inc. (TSXV:MTLO) (“Martello” or the “Company”), a leading provider of solutions that deliver clarity and control of real-time services on more than 5,000 networks in 175 countries around the world, today shared a business update for investors. As businesses around the world shift to a remote work model as a result of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), Martello has seen an increase in inquiries related to remote work. The Company continues to focus on the growth of its approximately $1M in monthly recurring revenue (MRR) and the health and safety of its employees around the world. As capital markets weather increased volatility, Martello’s recurring revenue model provides predictability and upside for investors.
“Our employees, themselves working remotely, are helping our customers implement the tools they need to keep their IT infrastructure running smoothly and ensure business continuity”, said John Proctor, President and CEO of Martello. “We believe that our disciplined approach to building MRR, which represents about 90% of total revenue, provides our investors with stability and predictability amid the uncertain market conditions we are currently experiencing”.
VOIP Networks, Mitel’s Northeast Partner of the Year for the Americas, has many customers with distributed businesses that rely on Mitel video conferencing and communication solutions for remote real-time collaboration. “Martello’s technology is a facilitator of remote communication and remote problem resolution. By constantly monitoring and managing the performance of Mitel collaboration and communication services, the user has a smooth experience every time and we know the service will perform as expected, without the need to travel to a customer’s site if issues arise,” said John Collins, CTO at VOIP Networks.
Martello’s own employees around the world are currently working remotely from home, remaining productive with many of the same cloud-hosted collaboration and communication tools that our customers rely upon. Martello is committed to protecting the health and safety of its employees and their families, and to helping to contain the spread of COVID-19. The Company’s COVID-19 response is focused on managing risk, protecting health and safety, business continuity and helping its customers.
Martello Enables Remote Work
Martello is helping thousands of businesses around the world to stay productive while their employees work remotely. The Company recently published a Remote Work webpage with resources to help businesses struggling with the IT challenges associated with remote work. More than four in 10 U.S. employees (43%) work away from their team members, at least some of the time, a number that is increasing as more businesses today are being forced to adopt remote work policies in light of COVID-19.
Together with partner Mitel Networks, the leading communications and collaboration vendor, Martello is keeping the business critical communication and collaboration services that remote workers rely on up and running, around the clock. According to Synergy Research, Mitel has the largest number of cloud seats in the world with close to 4.7 million users worldwide – more than 1.5 million seats ahead of the next closest competitor. Martello’s software monitors the experience of Mitel users, to ensure their voice calls, video conferences and contact center inquiries are not disrupted by echo, delay or jitter. 56% of Martello’s revenue (Q3 FY2020) is generated from sales of this software to Mitel’s customers.
Remote workers are highly dependent on certain critical business applications, including Microsoft Office 365. A scalable and reliable network infrastructure is critical to delivering these tools. According to Richard Crevier, network analyst at the Societe de Transport Montreal: “To create a platform for remote work, you need a solid network infrastructure with available and scalable bandwidth. Martello’s technology creates this foundation, so that new applications and services can be deployed without bandwidth limitations”. To ensure uptime for Microsoft Office365 in cloud or hybrid network environments, Martello’s IT operations analytics software reports on service health and SLA performance around the clock.
