About Micromuse

Founded as a network management solutions reseller, Micromuse has become the leading provider of realtime fault and service-level management software. It is one of the fastest-growing companies in the software industry.

Micromuse`s Netcool suite helps telecommunications and Internet service providers ensure the uptime of network-based customer services and applications. Managing these service levels is important in environments where business services are provided over a network infrastructure.

Today the Netcool suite is used in the OSS and NOC centers of many of the world`s leading Internet, long distance, local exchange, cellular, cable TV, and enterprise service providers.

Netcool Service-Level Management

The Netcool suite has become one of the software industry’s premier success stories because it solves complex problems in a simple way. It monitors large-scale networks in realtime, allowing network operators to quickly identify and address problems before they lead to trouble.

To match the diversity of any network, the Netcool ObjectServer™ includes an open architecture and a library of off-the-shelf software modules that collect event information from 200 popular network environments. These environments include management applications, voice or data networking equipment, Internet and wide-area services, and computer systems.

By supporting voice and data networks, the Netcool suite is positioned to take advantage of favorable market trends such as the rapid increase in IP data traffic, Voice Over IP, E-Commerce, Web services, and Internet-based enterprises (intranets and extranets). Netcool is the industry leader because it installs out of the box, it’s easy to use, and it deploys rapidly, providing a quick economic return.

Our Company

Micromuse went public in February 1998 on the Nasdaq National Market (ticker symbol MUSE) and since then has experienced hyper-growth. The company now has sales offices around the world and relationships with more than 90 channels partners on six continents. Netcool is sold by a host of telecom and Internet industry giants, including Cisco Systems and Lucent Technologies. The company has 20 charter members in its Netcool Developers Alliance™ program, including Adage Networks, Cap Gemini, Ernst & Young, Aprisma, Architel, NetIQ, Packeteer, and Veritas.

And that’s just the beginning. Our opportunity in the marketplace is fueled by the growth of the Internet, increasing competition between service providers, and the convergence of voice and data networks. These powerful, persistent trends have produced a multi-billion dollar market opportunity for us.

Micromuse’s management team includes seasoned telco and network management industry veterans, with valuable experience gained at industry-leading firms such as Ameritech, AT&T, IBM, Sun Microsystems, Oracle, Cabletron, British Telecom and Computer Associates. When you consider its blue-chip client base, exceptional reputation, and proven executive vision, Micromuse is emerging as a premier software industry player.




Merrill Lynch

Die Investmentbanker von Merrill Lynch raten dem Anleger derzeit die Aktie
des Unternehmens Micromuse Inc. (WKN 911651) zu akkumulieren. Langfristig
sei die Aktie aber ein „Kauf“.
Das Unternehmen erreiche ausgezeichnete Resultate, besonders seien die 145
neuen Kunden und die verbesserten operativen Margen zu erwähnen. Der
Gewinn im 4. Quartal 2000 von $41 Mio. und einem Gewinn pro Aktie von
$0,13, übertreffe die Erwartungen des Investmenthauses Merrill Lynch,
welche sich auf $37 Mio. und $0,11 belaufen hätten.

Der Gewinn sei im Vergleich zum Vorjahr um 114% und im Vergleich zum
Vorjahres-Quartal um 25% gestiegen. Es handele sich um das 5. Quartal in
Folge, in dem sich der Lizenzgewinn im Vergleich zum Vorjahr verbessert
habe. Die „deferred“ Umsätze seien um $1Mio. auf $22 Mio.
gestiegen und haben somit eine ähnliche Steigerung wie im letzten Quartal.
Merrill Lynch habe die Gewinnerwartung für das 1. Quartal 2001 um 11% von
$40 Mio. auf $45 gehoben. Den Gewinn pro Aktie hebe man von $0,13 auf
$0,15. Die Gewinnerwartung für das Jahr 2001 hebe man um 10% von $186M auf
$206 Mio..

Es gebe ende des Jahres einen 2 zu 1 Aktien-Splitt. Das Investmenthaus
Merrill Lynch hebe das 12-Monats-Kursziel, aufgrund einer einwandfreien
Vorstellung und dem anhaltend starken Wachstum, auf $225.



Stock-World
Micromuse zum Erfolg verdammt Datum : 20.07.2000
Zeit :14:30


US-Stock-World sieht weiteres Kurspotential verbunden mit einem erhöhtem
Risiko bei Micromuse (WKN 911651).
Das Softwareunternehmen Micromuse sei bereits heute als Marktführer bei
der Entwicklung von Überwachungs- und Managementsoftware für komplexe
Computernetzwerke bekannt. Hinter dem Flaggschiff NET-COOL¨ verberge sich
eine benutzerfreundliche und leicht zu installierende Software, welche die
effektive Überwachung und Steuerung von Netzwerken ermögliche.

Die Kundenliste führe America Online, Vodafone Airtouch, AT&T, Deutsche
Telekom, France Telekom, British Telekom, Cable& Wireless, IBM, Hewlett
Packard, MCI Worldcom, Concentric Network, Digex, Covad Communications und
Cisco Systems.

Seit der Emission habe sich die Aktie verzwanzigfacht. Nun sei das
Unternehmen in der Pflicht, die hohe Firmenbewertung durch das
entsprechende Wachstum zu rechtfertigen. Am 19. Juli erwarte man das
Ergebnis für das dritte Quartal (bis 30.06.). Man rechne mit einem Gewinn
von neun Cents pro Aktie. Für die Zukunft würden Analysten einen
Gewinnanstieg von 0,22 (1999) über 0,35 (2000e) auf 0,60 Dollar pro Aktie
(2001e) prognostizieren. Die Umsätze sollten im gleichen Zeitraum von 58
auf 163 Millionen Dollar anziehen.

Trotz des hohen KGV von 300 auf Basis der 2001 er- Gewinne, biete das
Papier weiteres Potenzial. Denn der Auf- und Ausbau des drahtlosen
Internets und die globale Vernetzung durch die Telekom-Multis dürfte die
Nachfrage nach den Micromuse - Produkten weiter anheizen.




Nice*Letter
Micromuse kaufen Datum : 10.03.2000
Zeit :09:18


Die Analysten des Börsenbriefes Nice*Letter empfehlen die Aktie von
Micromuse (WKN 911651) zum Kauf.
Der Hersteller von Fehler- und Service-Level-Managementsoftware für
Netzwerke habe neben Mannesmann auch Vodafone, AT&T, British Telecom,
Deutsche Telekom auf der Kundenliste. Mit der Software Netcool sei man in
der Lage alle eingesetzten Internet-Technologien eines Anbieters von
Telekommunikationsdienstleistungen genau zu überwachen. Dahinter würden
sich Kürzel wie HTTP, HTTPS, DNS und vor allem WAP verbergen. Gerade der
WAP-Bereich verspreche großes Potential. Der Kunde profitiere außerdem von
der schnellen Installierbarkeit der Software.

Auf der CeBit habe das Unternehmen eine Reihe neuer Kunden vorgestellt und
verzeichne seitdem starke Kurszuwächse. Bereits seit fünf Quartalen
befinde man sich in der Gewinnzone. Das hohe KGV von 350 würde angesichts
der weiterhin beeindruckenden Wachstumsraten relativiert.

Angesichts der marktführenden Stellung sowie der vielversprechenden
Auftragseingänge, sei das Kurspotential des NASDAQ-Titels noch nicht
ausgereizt.
