Propel was founded in 2015. Four years later, we see Fortune 500 companies rapidly accelerating requests for the next-generation cloud-based PLM in the first half of 2019. After record revenue growth in FY 2019, Propel is forecasted to grow even faster in FY 2020 as companies continue to embrace PLM in the cloud.
”We founded Propel in 2015 because we knew the next-generation of companies would choose a fresh approach to product lifecycle management over older legacy systems,” said Ray Hein, CEO. “We are seeing this transformation taking place now, with technology leaders making the move to the cloud. September, Bill, Kevin, and Suresh will help us capture additional market share as PLM catches up to other major software categories that have already moved to the cloud.”
