The fall could be attributed to furloughs and holidays which led to an average loss of 1.5 billing days per person. This had a negative impact of ~2.5% on IT revenues. Additionally, there were two large projects completed during the quarter leading to lower billings and revenue impact of 3.5% on the IT revenues.
