Commenting on the results, Mr. Roy Hess, Chief Executive Officer of MTS, said, "Our results in 2019 reflect the substantial reduction of our ongoing operating expenses attributed to the declining operation and the successful execution of our efforts to improve our operating margins in light of the business pressures that we face. We recently entered the field of omnichannel contact center software. In June 2019, we introduced Omnis - Contact Center Software with "Out-Of-The-Box" capabilities and open channel architecture. In this quarter we started to see initial revenues from this new product, which we consider to be our main growth engine in the coming years. As previously reported, we are also continuing our efforts to find an M&A opportunity.
