HIGHLIGHTS:

• Sixteen new customers were added in the year, with 20 extension orders from existing customers. By year end there were 87 companies throughout the world that had licensed our software, and the total number of individual users from within those organizations surpassed 27,000.
• We released the Accolade® Accelerators, a group of new modules which expand Accolade’s out-of-the-box capabilities in key process automation areas such as Stage-Gate® implementation, roadmapping and planning, and product portfolio management (PPM).
• Sopheon clients participating in a benchmark study by Aberdeen Group on PPM best practices ranked best-of-class in a variety of key areas including widespread process adoption, speed of portfolio management decisions, meeting cost goals and hitting deadlines.
• Revenue growth in Europe was particularly strong. Strategically we began to move beyond the specialty chemicals, materials and food & beverage markets that have historically been our targets and secured our first customers in the discrete manufacturing industries.
