Looking forward, Enero says it continues “to see a strong pipeline of new business opportunities”, especially in the healthcare, technology, and consumer business-to-business markets.
The company goes on to say that inorganic growth continues to be a strong focus for Enero. Inorganic growth is a result of mergers and acquisitions rather than an expanding customer base.
