Company re-launches with expanded Secure Content Management portfolio
Dubai, United Arab Emirates: St. Bernard Software, Inc. (OTCBB: SBSW), a leader in Secure Content Management (SCM) solutions, announced the official re-launch of the company as EdgeWave™ on Thursday, 13th January 2011, reflecting an expanded portfolio of SCM solutions and services, including web and email security, data protection, e-reputation, and email, all delivered through a choice of on-premise, on-demand, or custom hybrid deployments.
"The company has evolved dramatically over the past 12 months, and we are rebranding ourselves to reflect our broader mission that builds on our strong web and email security foundation," said Lou Ryan, CEO and Chairman of the Company. "Over the past year, we've taken significant steps to enhance our senior leadership team and increase our talent pool, upgrade our existing products, expand our technology portfolio, overhaul our go-to-market strategy, and achieve greater cost efficiencies. We believe all of these efforts will produce greater customer satisfaction and increase business growth and shareholder value over the long term."
The company's move to re-brand itself as EdgeWave caps an aggressive transformation strategy, including the recent acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Red Condor, the hiring of five seasoned executives, streamlining operations into a new worldwide headquarters facility, a re-tooling of the company's back office operation, the formulation of a powerful new technology portfolio, and the expansion into new markets with new products.
