"From this relationship, and others to come, we remain optimistic that we will experience significant recurring revenue transaction volume over time. Recently-appointed President and Chief Operating Officer and a committed shareholder of the company, Mike Engmann is now leading the efforts to make this happen. We are delighted he is directing iSIGN during this important time."
