We have historically differentiated those brands primarily based on the identity of the customers they serve. After careful examination of the trends taking shape in the markets we serve, we determined that going forward, our commercial customers can benefit from a more unified and streamlined brand strategy. Accordingly, we have consolidated our commercial brands and realigned our customer segments in an effort to realize significant growth and to achieve a more efficient cost structure. We are very excited about this evolution as we believe it wil lead to an improved customer experience, operational synergies and benefits to all of our stakeholders, leveraging a brand that better represents the technology solutions provider we have become."
