"Our stated goals of eliminating approximately $2.5 million in annualized fixed costs through facility and functional consolidation and elimination of duplicative resources continue on pace.

These wins give me optimism that better financial performance is on the way. Our public sector and federal base of business will remain a key driver of revenue and profitability in 2017. We are particularly excited about our recent acquisition of the Probaris assets to support several new agency relationships and to enhance our core identity management credentialing services intellectual property."
