“This is the first quarter that the revenues from both Sonasoft and Cornerstone Technologies are consolidated,” said Mike Khanna, President of Sonasoft. “The merger is complete, and we are on track to meet if not exceed our revenue guidance of $13 million for fiscal year 2019. Historically, revenue bookings for these businesses in the first quarter of the year are the smallest, with a steady ramp up over the course of the year to the fourth quarter, when revenue bookings are the largest. We also anticipate that our just acquired artificial intelligence assets will begin to contribute revenue in the coming quarters. Our expansion strategy and pivot to more strategic, higher value-added solutions are in their early stages and already delivering results. 2019 will be a year of growth for Sonasoft across many dimensions.”
