The telecommunications side of our business continues to be stable as we have maintained a high level of customer satisfaction.
We recently entered the field of Omnichannel Contact Center Software. In June 2019, we introduced Omnis - Contact Center Software with "Out-Of-The-Box" multi-channel capabilities and open channel architecture. This product enables users to connect whenever and however they choose through voice, emails, chat, social media and more. Managing real-time, multi-channel interaction is simple with the Omnis Unified Interface, allowing employees to handle different interactions under one Omnichannel Desktop with real-time visibility into customer information, customer journey and previous interactions. We expect to see first revenues from this new product during the second half of 2019 and consider Omnis - Contact Center Software as our main growth engine. In addition, we continue to explore opportunities for a potential business combination".
