"Firms need to take action to deal with the rising
number of mobile
employees needing to remotely access company applications
in a corporate
environment facing tighter fiscal and regulatory compliance
constraints"

The market for Rova solutions is growing rapidly. Leading industry
analysts approximate the total market size in the U.S. alone for remote
access VPN services is approaching
$4 billion annually1.
The mobile worker population is projected to increase from more than
650
million worldwide today to more than 850 million in 2009, representing
more
than one-quarter of the global workforce. Nearly 70% of the U.S. workforce
will be mobile by 2009. This growing market is driven by a greater
number
of companies and their employees realizing the benefits of a mobile
and a
flexible work force2.
Rova is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this market opportunity.
By
providing
companies with an alternative to proprietary platforms available
from network carriers and aggregators, Rova puts the freedom of choice
in
the hands of enterprise IT - the choice to select which carriers to
use
where, when, and for what employees; to select the network type (WiFi,
Dial,
Ethernet, 3G) and security solution (VPN); to select what information
is available to who (administration rights) and what applications get upgraded
(any application) and when.
The largest segment of the IP-VPN market continues to be those enterprises
that want
a "Do-It-Yourself" (DIY) or partial DIY solution.
Many of these
enterprises are discovering that partnering with Rova for the development
of a customized software solution gives
them maximum control over the decisions
involving their unique network, security and
policy management needs.
