Business Commentary

Milton G. Silva-Craig, President and CEO of TSC, stated: “The second quarter represented significant progress for the Company in our continued efforts to transform the organization into a healthcare software and services company. The divestiture of the SAP Practice earlier this quarter has led to a more focused Company, enhanced our cash position and resulted in profitability. Additionally, we launched Blue Ocean — our web-based application, which helps hospitals improve their performance through the visualization of real-time key performance indicators — this quarter and have received favorable market reaction, and further, we successfully transitioned one of our Blue Ocean pilot sites to production use. Our focus in the coming quarters will be to penetrate the market with our innovative software solutions, while continuing to deliver high value services to our customers.”
