"The Company has a good reputation with customers and the repeat business to prove it," explains Mr. Noller. "Now we are going to turn those repeat customers into long-term customers. We started our campaign last year to turn recurring customers into recurring revenue. Our plan for 2008 is to convert half our tech services revenue into three-year contracts.
