Conclusion on IMPR IPO

IMPR has a large market share and should be profitable by now.  Only half of revenue is from sales of new perpetual licenses, the other half is recurring maintenance revenue.

Q1 '14's loss increased to -$7 million from -$1.5 million, in large part to increased sales and marketing expenses.

IMPR should have managed its income statement better in the quarter prior to its IPO.

The rating on IMPR is neutral.

IMPR's Business

IMPR’s flagship solution, Imprivata OneSign, is an integrated enterprise single sign-on, authentication and access management and workflow automation platform that addresses multiple security and productivity challenges faced by hospitals and other healthcare organizations.

Healthcare information access

By enabling fast, secure access to healthcare information technology systems, IMPR believes its solutions save clinicians significant time to focus on patient care, increase their productivity and satisfaction, and help healthcare organizations comply with complex privacy and security regulations.

Imprivata OneSign can be installed on every workstation and other application access point throughout a healthcare organization and once deployed becomes a critical part of the customer’s security and access infrastructure.
