Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Fernandez]

  ZixCorp(NASDAQ: ZIXI) (as the company refers to itself) is a leading provider of easy-to-use-and-deploy email encryption and e-prescribing services that connect entities with their customers and partners to protect and deliver sensitive information in the healthcare, finance, insurance and government industries.

  ZixCorp’s hosted Email Encryption Service provides an easy and cost-effective way to ensure customer privacy and regulatory compliance for corporate email and its Pocketscript® e-prescribing service saves lives and saves money by automating the prescription process between payors, doctors, and pharmacies.

  Zix Corp and its largest competitor Allscripts (NASDAQ: MDRX) provide e-prescribing technologies, which have pending legislation in the House and Senate to provide financial incentives to promote the adoption of the technology.

  e-prescribing is basically when you go to a doctor and they use a little handheld PDA to enter your prescription information, and then send it off to the pharmacy of your choice without having to write anything out on paper.

  This is a quicker and more streamlined way of doing business and has the added affect of catching any potential allergic or drug interactions through the cross-referencing capabilities of the software that is used.

  Zix has been a company that I have been looking into for over a year, but their stock price and fundamentals did not synch up.

  I still have to do more diligence and determine whether or not Allscripts or Zix have a better product, and more than that, if doctors without financial incentives, will adopt the e-prescribing interface, even though in the long run, it would save them money.

  Because of the legislative mandates and Zix’s recent announcements with large insurance providers like Aetna (NYSE: AET) in New Jersey and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama, I believe that we are in the beginning stages of this technology taking off and being accepted at more and more docto! r’s offices and that it will become mainstream in no time at all.

  The email encryption part of Zix’s business is just another revenue stream that acts as a corollary to their e-prescribing business and right now, accounts for the vast majority of their revenue.

  Why I Like the Company: Technology that is being pushed by legislature and will likely become widely adopted in the years to come providing the company a broad spectrum of runway in terms of future revenue growth; Valuation that has come in line with the company’s fundamentals; Possible merger/takeover target for their IP and applications/customer base; Improving fundamentals, including cash flow positive quarter has company on the verge of solid profitability
