Commentary

“Our team delivered continuing strong results in Q4 and throughout 2023, pushing forward our plans to make Sylogist into a SaaS leader in the public sector,” said Bill Wood, CEO of Sylogist. “Our success metrics to watch, including annual recurring growth, margins, net revenue retention, and customer net promoter score, all trended to new highs for the Company in Q4.  We anticipate this momentum to continue in 2024.”

Throughout 2024, particularly in the latter half of the year, we foresee SaaS acceleration driven by expanding traction in the Sylogist Mission sector, new contributions from our Sylogist Ed and Gov sectors, and our growing partner community. Our focus remains on profitable organic growth while being prepared to seize strategic opportunities for scale or innovation, as seen with our recent Time Clock Now tuck-in acquisition.”
