one of the most complete solutions for the management of structured and unstructured data.
We are excited by our growth, which has resulted in increased profitability, our expansion
into the Big Data and Cloud Computing space, as it comes into contact with enterprises,
and now, executing our plan to relist on NASDAQ."
