Management Commentary
''Continuing with the trend we experienced in the first quarter, we had strong growth in recurring revenue'' said David Karp, Interim CEO and CFO. ''Our recurring revenue business contributed to more than 50% of the total revenue, and was at the highest level ever for CounterPath. Another milestone for the Company was achieved in the second quarter with the launch of Bria Teams. This latest Software-as-a Service (SaaS) offering combines all of CounterPath's core technologies with newly introduced services such as team voice and video calling; in addition to secure corporate instant messaging, presence, message synchronization and screen sharing, all hosted by CounterPath from the cloud. This subscription-based offering will contribute to additional recurring revenue growth and is targeted towards new users within the small and medium-sized business (SMB) enterprise market. Furthermore, we are expanding our product portfolio to address the demand for support in virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environments. This included a customer contract last quarter with one of the top ten call center service providers looking to enable voice capability for work-at-home users across various VDI hardware clients. As more employees work remotely rather than in a corporate office setting, implementation of cloud-based virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is increasing. According to the Research and Markets report, the global desktop virtualization market is projected to grow from USD 7.83 Billion in 2017 to USD 13.45 Billion by 2022, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11.4% during the forecast period ." continued Karp.
