"As we previously discussed when the year began, Fiscal 2023 was an inflection point in Boardwalktech's overall business. We expanded revenue with existing clients, landed new Fortune 100 logos, and experienced growth across all financial metrics in the Company. While we are pleased with our progress last year, we are far from being satisfied," stated CEO Andrew T. Duncan. "The issues around digital transformation of enterprise data, management of unstructured data and supply chain visibility continues to persist as a challenge across the enterprise. Boardwalktech is meeting and exceeding these challenges with outstanding solutions and will continue to capitalize on this generational opportunity. We remain incredibly excited about the future of the business and look forward to realizing and then reporting the tremendous growth that we see in front of us."
