Adaptive Insights Drives Cloud CPM in the Enterprise, Continues Upward Momentum With Record Q3 Performance

PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 21, 2015) - Adaptive Insights, the leader in cloud corporate performance management (CPM) for the biggest brands and the hottest companies, today announced another record quarter, fueled by its dominance with midsize companies and expanded enterprise customer sales and deal sizes. Following a successful second quarter that included a $75 million round of funding, Adaptive Insights maintained 50+% YoY growth in total annual recurring revenue (ARR) bookings for Q3 2015 and grew its enterprise customer list to over 300 organizations, more than any other cloud CPM vendor in the industry.

The company's focus on delivering the easiest-to-implement and easiest-to-use CPM experience¹, along with its service and support enabled by a global partner network, is transforming the way finance leaders manage -- not just model -- their businesses. As a result, its high customer satisfaction ratings drove a 100+% revenue renewal rate, including upsells, in Q3 across a customer count that now tops 2,800 midsize and enterprise customers in 85 countries, three times more customers than all cloud CPM companies combined. Notable new Adaptive Insights customers in Q3 2015 include: Anritsu, Brookstone, CrossFit Inc., Jet Airways, Manhattan Beachwear Inc., The Motley Fool, San Diego State University, Tampa Bay Rays, and USMD Health System.

"Adaptive Insights has shown strong growth over the past three years, effectively doubling customer count and deal size," said James Curtis, senior analyst, data platforms and analytics, at 451 Research. "The growth reflects the company's expanding focus on enterprise accounts, building upon its mid-market efforts. While it continues to find success with the finance crowd, the company often attracts business users from a variety of departments who participate in planning, making for a compelling enterprise play for companies needing a holistic view of their business."

"Our continued growth quarter after quarter is a direct result of our customers successfully driving finance transformation in their organizations," said Tom Bogan, CEO of Adaptive Insights. "The finance game has changed, and Adaptive Insights products and services are empowering our customers to achieve a holistic view of their organizations in order to drive strategic outcomes. This move from tactical to strategic finance is a huge -- but necessary -- shift for organizations of all sizes in our data-driven world."
