In 1993, we offered our first automated talent acquisition system, and by 1997, we had expanded to provide employee research, employee performance management technology and consulting services. In late 1997, responding to growing demand from our customers, we embarked on a strategy to provide comprehensive human capital management services integrated with on-demand software. Between 1994 and 1998, we acquired 15 businesses that collectively enabled us to offer comprehensive HCM services integrated with on-demand technology. In 1999, we embarked on a strategy that would augment our recruitment process outsourcing and employee performance management solutions, and reduce our strategic focus on discrete professional services. As a result of this shift, we exited our temporary staffing business, and acquired four businesses between 2000 and 2001. These acquisitions enhanced our screening and behavioral assessment solutions and skills testing technologies. Since 2002, we have reduced our strategic focus on position-specific recruiting services, discontinued our Oracle implementation business and sold our pharmaceutical training division. ...
