Acting CEO Jeremy Rutherford, whose investor group ousted former CEO Shirley Singleton in March, said during this week's earnings webcast the company is enlarging sales and marketing operations for all units: Fullscope, the Dynamics VAR; Renzel, an Oracle partner; and classic reselling.

However, Rutherford expects the Oracle business to pick up.
