FROM THE 10K ANNUAL RE****T:
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2007, our consolidated revenue increased 16% and our consolidated
operating income increased 17% compared to 2006. Revenue from our
Professional Services businesses and our IT Services businesses increased
18% and 13%, respectively, compared to 2006.
We target potential acquisitions that will either increase the geographic
presence of our businesses or offer complementary service offerings. Our
target acquisitions have generally ranged from $5 million to $25 million
in annual revenue. From 2005 to 2007, we completed sixteen acquisitions.
We continue to believe that long-term op****tunities for growth in the
professional services market may be more robust than in the IT services
market, and as a result, we continue to diversify our revenue base.
Revenue from our Professional Services division represented 57% of
consolidated revenue in 2007, compared to 56% in 2006 and 54% in 2005.
