"We were very excited to launch hopTo work, our mobile productivity platform for small and medium sized businesses and enterprise users, and bring it to market in late 2014," stated Eldad Eilam, CEO of hopTo Inc. "These early stages of the commercialization process have provided us with valuable insights into usage patterns and confirmation of valuable features, which has been useful in helping to shape our sales strategy and objectives for 2015.
"With that in mind, we are pleased to report extremely positive feedback from our prospective customers as they benefit from the additional functionality and security of the hopTo Work platform.
"Our sales teams have been working hard to build strong relationships with channel partners and prospective customers and they have had a great few months of customer engagement. We have learned during this phase that the lead time on generating revenues from hopTo Work is longer than we had previously anticipated. We are still expecting revenues to ramp gradually and for the Company to generate meaningful sales in 2015 from the hopTo product line.
"We are further encouraged by our distribution strategy, which is predominantly through resellers but still requires directly engaging with end-users alongside our partners in these early stages. Early reaction is more than promising and we are excited to see a growing pipeline of prospective customers for hopTo Work from a wide range of market verticals as the benefits of the technology are recognized by our target customers and partners.
"We also continue to see evidence of the ongoing trend toward enterprise mobility, including 'BYOD' ("bring your own device") and application mobilization in the workplace. We believe that we are well-positioned to benefit from this increasing reliance on mobile devices as enterprises battle to maintain high levels of security, while enabling their employees to enjoy a dynamic mobile experience," concluded Mr. Eilam.
