The shortfall in digital revenue can be attributed to short closure of one of our projects and a shift in the business mix as some projects moved offshore. We continue to invest in new technologies and in enhancing domain and consulting skills in our customers geography as can be seen from the acquisition of Herald Health and the setting up of Partners Healthcare Pivot Labs.”
