Pervasive Software (PVSW)

Our Business

Pervasive Software is a global software and services company focused on helping companies get the most out of their data investments through embeddable data management and agile integration software. Our embeddable Pervasive PSQL database engine allows organizations to successfully embrace new technologies while maintaining application compatibility and robust database reliability in a near-zero database administration environment. Our agile, multi-purpose Pervasive Data Integrator integration platform accelerates the sharing of information between multiple databases, applications, or hosted business systems and allows customers to re-use the same software for diverse integration scenarios.

Our PSQL database products continued to generate approximately two-thirds of our revenue during fiscal year 2008 and year to date in fiscal year 2009. Channel adoption trends for version 10 of our Pervasive PSQL database have been good since its launch in September 2007, and in June 2008 we released Pervasive PSQL Summit v10.10, which is Microsoft Certified for Windows Server 2008.

Our innovation efforts in fiscal year 2008 and thus far in 2009 have resulted in the introduction and further development of two new product and service offerings:

For more than two decades, Pervasive products have delivered value with a compelling combination of performance, flexibility, reliability and low total cost of ownership. In addition, significant portions of our database and integration flagship product lines are embeddable into commercial applications for sale predominantly to small to mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) through a well-developed channel of independent software vendors (ISVs), Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) vendors, value-added resellers (VARs) and system integrators.

We develop, market, sell and support our offerings worldwide through our principal office in Austin, Texas and through international offices in Brussels, Frankfurt, Paris and London and a joint venture in Japan.
