As companies transition from looking at the Internet as a point solution to considering the competitive advantages that new technologies make possible throughout their enterprise, companies are turning to us, said Jerry A. Greenberg, Sapient’s co-chairman and co-chief executive officer. Over the last decade we’ve worked hard to remain the leader in providing clients with the complement of insights and capabilities needed to compete successfully.

Overall, we are satisfied with our financial results for the quarter, given the challenging environment, said Edward G. Goldfinger, Sapient’s chief financial officer. For the year, revenue and earnings growth were strong, and we generated approximately $100 million in cash flow from operations.
