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.”
