Streamline Health Solutions Management Discusses Q1 2013 Results - Earnings Call Transcript

We are very pleased with the financial performance for the quarter, and as noted in our press release earlier this morning, our first quarter performance was very strong from many vantage points.

Second, we have expanded our sales footprint to capture a greater share of net new sales opportunities. Our relationship with FTI Consulting, announced in January of this year, while in its early stages, is adding significantly to our sales pipeline opportunities. Since the inception of that agreement, we have closed 3 transactions with their participation.
