 | | | | TOP STORIES December 16, 2009 | |  | Holiday Greetings from Our CEO | As we wrap up 2009 and head into the holidays, I’d like to offer my thanks to our customers, partners, and advocates in the industry. It has truly been a blessing for Camstar to have trusted relationships and strong support from all of you throughout the year. We hope we’ve been a support to you as well, with continued dedication to Advancing Product Quality to help you drive a healthier top line and bottom line, and win the loyalty of the customers you serve.
Our ongoing commitment to deliver measurable value to our customers is reflected in the heavy investment we continued to make in our technology throughout 2009, culminating in the recent delivery of Version 4.5 of the Camstar Enterprise Platform. In addition, we expanded our organization and global presence to broaden our customer service excellence worldwide – a guiding principle that has earned us your confidence. Our ability to stay the course and make these advancements has been enhanced and driven in partnership with many of you. As we pause at the turn of another year, I wanted to express our gratitude on behalf of all of Camstar’s employees.
We wish you a very Happy Holiday season and a Prosperous New Year.
