Jacada Announces Cost Reduction Initiatives

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 6, 2009--Jacada Ltd. (Nasdaq: JCDA), a leading provider of unified desktop and process optimization solutions for customer service operations, today announced measures to reduce expenses to align company operations with revenue expectations for 2009.

The company announced today a 7% reduction in headcount worldwide, which impacts 10 positions, as well as salary reductions and other additional cost saving initiatives. Overall, the actions are expected to produce total savings for the remainder of fiscal year 2009 of approximately $2.5 million, which includes a reduction in cost of revenues of $700,000, and a $1.8 million reduction in operating expense.

“As we expected, we continue to see commitments from existing customers strengthen, and we are encouraged by the size and quality of new business opportunities in our pipeline,” said Paul O’Callaghan, chief executive officer of Jacada. “However, we are clearly experiencing longer sales cycles on new customer orders due to increased diligence on behalf of the customer. While we work hard to win new business, we will remain committed to our ongoing focus on cost containment and improving our bottom line results.”

The company also announced today that, after nearly 14 years at Jacada, David Holmes, SVP of Global Marketing has decided to leave the company for personal reasons. “David has been with Jacada from the beginning and has worked tirelessly to promote, message, grow and transform the company over the years,” concluded O’Callaghan. “I appreciate and support his desire to spend some time with family, and am confident that the excellent team that he has hired and mentored will continue the outstanding marketing that Jacada has enjoyed.”
