Our Fourth Quarter results closed out the year on a positive note that sets the tone for the year ahead. 2005 was an important year for Keane as we put the plan and the people in place to drive our company-wide One Keane transformation initiative. The goal of the One Keane initiative is to enhance top- and bottom-line growth by creating an efficient global operating model. This will enable us to better serve our clients by accelerating the development of innovative solutions, fostering collaboration, and improving efficiencies.

By providing full visibility into engagement performance, Productivity Insight demonstrates our commitment to be accountable for our results. As our strategic platform for complex outsourcing engagements, Productivity Insight provides tangible access to Keane's best practices, allowing us to enforce rigorous management disciplines, ensure consistency across engagements and global delivery teams, and drive continuous process improvement efforts.

We believe Roaming Messenger has a unique technology in the exciting and growing wireless sector. Especially their focus in the Homeland Security industry which continues to mature.

People are looking for answers. A perfect storm of issues is coalescing.
