Mark Meller, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SilverSun, stated, "We are pleased to present these profitable operating results for 2018.  We are very proud of the competitive success our Company continues to enjoy, which is a direct result of our team's commitment to excellence, our great industry partnerships,  and our execution on our strategic growth initiatives. 

“We have continued to execute on our business plan, which is designed to take advantage of our competitive strengths, including our highly effective sales and marketing organization.  Our multi-pronged business strategy is centered on recurring revenue, customer retention and on rapidly increasing the size of our installed customer base.

“The growth of our customer base is accomplished via our traditional marketing programs, via our Partner Success Program (in the Sage Software channel), and via acquisitions. The Partner Success Program, which left pilot stage and went into production in the fourth quarter of last year, enables us to participate in the consolidation of the Sage reseller channel, aggressively increasing the number of customers operating under our umbrella at minimal cost.

“After a customer is secured, our strategy is to up-sell and cross-sell, providing the customer with advanced technologies and third-party add-ons that help them digitally transform their business. These add-on products include application hosting, cybersecurity, warehouse management, human capital management, payment automation, sales tax compliance or any number of other products that we represent. Many of these incremental products and services are billed on a subscription basis, often paying monthly for the service, which increases our monthly recurring revenue (“MRR”). This strategy increases the average revenue generated per customer, which facilitates our continued growth, and reduces our cost of customer acquisition, which enhances our profitability profile.

“Our recurring revenue today exceeds $17.5 million, or 42.9% of our total revenue. We expect recurring revenue to continue to represent an ever higher percentage of total revenue in the coming years as we offer ever more cloud solutions and more advanced managed services to our small and medium-sized business clients.

“Our operating results for 2018 were impacted by investments we made in people and systems to better address the higher transaction volume we anticipate going forward.  We will continue to focus on rationalizing our cost structure, and we hope to see marked improvement in our operating margin in the coming quarters.”

In conclusion, Meller added, "We have had a successful year, but there is still work to be done.   By remaining steadfast in executing our business plan and embracing technological change, we fully expect that our continued efforts will help to perpetuate -- and even accelerate -- our impressive growth trend well into the foreseeable future.”
