• Early in the third quarter, the Company commenced a one-year Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) pilot with a global professional services firm. Using edgeTI’s newly developed low code and intelligent automation capabilities, the service provider’s objectives of the pilot are to produce significant cost savings and time efficiency across its customers.
• On August 17^th, Jim Barrett, CEO was accepted into Forbes Technology Council, an invitation-only community for world-class CIOs, CTOs, and technology executives.

• On August 25^th, edgeTI and OnSolve formed a strategic partnership to deliver OnSolve’s AI-driven risk intelligence and critical communications via edgeTI’s platform — providing full operational visibility and control for smart cities and enterprises looking to achieve resilience in their operations, logistics, and supply chain.

“Q3 was a difficult time to secure new decisions as customers and prospects took more time to select and activate their initiatives,” said Jim Barrett, Chief Executive Officer. “In contrast, I am proud of the awards and coverage we have been able to garner in multiple business and technical audiences to seed new growth. Similarly, our focus on strategic partnerships is providing opportunities to demonstrate our ability to accelerate digital transformation and activate value for our current and future customers.”

Operational Outlook
Ongoing global business challenges and uncertainty, now marked by rising interest rates, are expected to continue to elongate customer decisions cycles and delay new projects as these conditions negatively impacted growth these last two quarters. The Company is actively working to restructure its debt, achieve cash flow positive operations, and reestablish growth by taking an even sharper focus on U.S. Government and Service Provider Operations.
