The sequential improvement in second quarter revenues indicates progress with the success of our realignment effort." Mr. Sims continued, "Globally, demand was very strong in the Customer Management Solutions and Interactive Solutions service lines as evidenced by the number of customer implementations which were delivered during the quarter. We continue to see opportunities for Interactive Solutions and Customer Management Solutions to partner together on client engagements as the focus around the customer becomes increasingly important to our clients. The trend toward more complex projects, where time-to-market is critical, continues to play to Cambridge's strengths in rapidly deploying e-business solutions."

Of this, mission-critical applications accounted for 55% of total service line revenue and internet-related business was 11% of total service line revenue.
