"This was an outstanding quarter for us aided by a number of larger deals, including one particularly noteworthy sale to a customer in the Education market," said Lawrence Rychlak, president and chief financial officer at Rand Worldwide. "We were able to show good growth in all of our revenue categories which combined with continued controls over our operating expenses, resulted in a very profitable second fiscal quarter."

"We have consistently shown our customers the great value of our experience and expertise and are very pleased in the confidence that they have placed with us," added Marc Dulude, chief executive officer at Rand Worldwide. "Our recent designation as a Platinum Partner with Autodesk adds further support to our standing as an elite company in the Autodesk marketplace.  In addition, we continue to show significant bookings growth in our Rand Secure Data division and the other important groups within Rand Worldwide and continue to be very excited about the future for the Company."
