Recurring revenues are on the rise at Intouch Insight, as the Ottawa-based firm sets its sights on a lucrative new market in 2018.
Intouch Insight (TSX-V: INX), an IT service management company, earned revenues of $3.67 million for the three-month period ending Sept. 30, an increase of 15 per cent year-over-year. Driving that growth was recurring software and services revenues, which rose roughly the same percentage.
