"Just as existing clients are embracing the Unified Experience™, we continue to see growing interest in our solutions and services with new clients, reflected in the company's record-setting backlog," continued Birch. "The DATATRAK ONE® Unified Experience™ provides an exceptional user experience, eliminating data migration, minimizing downtime, and providing better site compliance, better data, and a safer trial. In conjunction with our Partners, we offer full service solutions that help our clients realize success in their trials," concluded Birch.

SG&A expenses decreased 4% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

DATATRAK's backlog at June 30, 2014 was $22.2 million compared to a backlog of $20.9 million at December 31, 2013. Backlog consists of future value from authorization letters to commence services, statements of work, technology and services agreements, change orders and other customer contracts, billed and unbilled. The improvement in backlog from December 31, 2013 to June 30, 2014 was due to new contract sales, change orders and contract amendments.
