"TMNG's third quarter revenue growth evidences early success from our initiatives to transform our business model and consulting offerings toward wireless and IP-based technology platforms," said Rich Nespola, TMNG Chairman and CEO. "Our well-established wireless practice has helped drive a sequential increase in new customers, while our emerging TMNG Resources group is gaining traction by providing near-term management and strategic talent to service providers beginning their own transformations. Our focus is on leveraging these early successes to build the revenue momentum back into the business that is necessary to drive a return to profitability. And while the continued volatility in the telecom industry means that our near-term results will remain unpredictable, we are supported by our strong balance sheet which will enable us to continue to fund on-going strategic initiatives."
