While the challenging economic environment has slowed our ability to realize the benefits of our transformation, we remain firmly committed to realizing that vision today.

Our objective for 2009 is to continue to focus our business, reduce expenses and drive growth in our higher-margin services business by delivering value and exceeding clients’ expectations each and every day.
