Arena Kicks Off 2011 With 24% Increase in Subscription Sales
Arena Solutions announced an increase in subscription sales of 24% for the quarter ending March 31, 2011, as compared to the same period one year earlier. Helping drive that growth were strong sales to new customers and continued expansion among existing customers, with a net renewal rate of 109%. Expansion of usage among customers signed the previous year was particularly strong -- 95% greater than one year earlier -- and shows continued proof of the ease and speed with which new customers can adopt Arena, see measurable benefits and extend the value of the solution across their organizations.
"It's great to start 2011 with a strong showing in all key area: subscription sales, customer adoption and renewals," said Craig Livingston, chief executive officer of Arena Solutions. "Once again I have to tip my hat to an impressive group of new customers, whose cutting-edge products are doing holographic imaging, high-performance solar power, health monitoring from afar and much more. We welcomed an impressive group of new employees in the first quarter too -- even the ones who are just weeks on the job are already making a significant contribution. Between the optimistic manufacturing climate and the energy in the building (not to mention some exciting items on our roadmap for this year), I'm thrilled by the prospect of what's ahead for Arena in 2011."
