Furthermore, the success in the Solutions Division, specifically the revenue growth of iGetSmart, has enabled us to build on our outsourcing leadership position through advanced technology. The Solutions Division and iGetSmart addressed the highest priorities of our customers during the year, enabling them to focus on their core business and manage their printing related costs."

Furthermore, the growth of business flowing over the iGetSmart system in fiscal 2002 surpassed the 4-year CAGR of 47.8%.
