"Our record revenue for the third quarter was driven by continued strong demand for our LMS solutions from both new and existing customers," said Don Fowler, SumTotal's chief executive officer. "We experienced particular strength in sales in the healthcare and financial services segments, demonstrating our continued traction in our target market segments. While I am disappointed with our higher-than-anticipated service expenses, I expect to see improvement this quarter in our service margins."
