NEW YORK, April 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Zanett, Inc. today announced that it has set an in-house corporate record for contracts signed in a single quarter since the Company was founded over 10 years ago. During the first 3 months of 2010, over $17.1 million dollars in new business has been closed. This amount is comprised of 57 different customers, with the largest customer being responsible for a $4 million mandate.  The $17.1 million in deal closings currently reported for Q1 includes the earlier reported $12.0 million comprising of business closed in January and February 2010.  

PAST 6 MONTHS = $30.8 MILLION IN NEW BUSINESS

During the past six months, over $30.8 million of business was closed.  Chuck Deskins, President of Zanett Commercial Solutions stated, "I am not easily excitable, but all I can say is... Wow...!  The 21 great people in our national salesforce have been doing a fantastic job across all segments and throughout all geographies.  Over 43% of all new business closed in Q1 was with brand-new customers."

The greater part of the business that has been signed during the past 6 months will be recognized as revenue during the next 4 quarters.

AMERICA IS THRIVING ... SO IS ZANETT'S HEALTHCARE FOCUS

At Zanett, the Healthcare Sector was by far the biggest segment of contracts signed for the past 3 months, accounting for 42% of the value of all contracts signed.  Over the past 6 months, more than $11.3 million of new business has been closed in the Healthcare Sector.  

Dennis Harkins, President of Zanett Inc, said, "I have said it before and I will say it again ... America is thriving and business is booming ...! People are currently underestimating the magnitude of this economic recovery."

"Throughout the US, corporations are currently hesitant about hiring individuals, due to unknown and unfunded mandates from Washington DC, so they are spending their money on increased capital expenditures.  For any corporation out there, Oracle ERP and other IT spending are a natural beneficiary of a reduction in labor force.  Here at Zanett, we have a great national salesforce, and they can barely keep up with the demand they see."
