  38. Software Focus ROI Driven Markets • Routing • Switching • Telco • Transmission Equipment • Mobility • Unified Messaging • CRM • Network Management Hardware Focus Technology Driven Markets

  39. PRODUCT LINE STRATEGY Strategic product solutions leveraging our leading vendors’ strength and assisting our customers to be more successful in the marketplace by focusing on: Convergence Solutions • Secure market position in anticipated of emerging growth • Forge relationships with key emerging vendors Security • Capitalize on growth and strength of this market • Retain and further develop expertise in this area of increasing complexity IP Devices • Add to network infrastructure solution set • Gain additional profitability from main networking sales • Enhance competitiveness in specific sales situations

  40. FUTURE OUTLOOK • Trends show networking and communications market still in an overall “neutral” state with no defined trend on margins • Vendors make quota 1 quarter and fall behind the next and vice versa • WG market share gains 1 quarter are given back the next due to price wars • LAN/WAN market still declining • Large PBX market “soft” • Hybrid/Key systems market very price sensitive and being attacked by “non-traditional” competitors – Panasonic, Hitachi, Siemens • VOIP – growing at a nice rate – projected to be 12% of revenues in FY04, up from 6% • Security – still a strong market. Nokia and Checkpoint, suffering from price attacks and market share losses – Symantec, Netscreen, Watchguard, Network Associates, etc. • IP Devices –revenues from this portfolio now up to 25.8% of sales (including security). Margin is still strong, but off 2-3% from peak.
