PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 29, 2014) - Adaptive Insights, the worldwide leader in cloud business analytics for the biggest brands and the hottest companies, announced strong third quarter business momentum as it rapidly scales its business to meet customer demand.

Adaptive Insights is the #1 fastest growing cloud business analytics and CPM software company on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500™ list.

"It's great to see huge demand not only from companies who are implementing CPM for the first time, but from those who are also choosing to replace or augment their existing legacy CPM solutions," said Rob Hull, Founder and Chairman of Adaptive Insights. "Adaptive is in an unparalleled position in the industry to meet this demand with a broad suite of integrated cloud analytics and planning solutions."

The company continues to entrench itself within the enterprise market, which represents its fastest growing customer segment.

Product Innovation
Continuing its strategy of ongoing innovation, Adaptive released a new, enterprise-class leading interface to maximize user engagement, along with robust new reporting and integration capabilities, including:

• Adaptive OfficeConnect: Provides a powerful new way to bring financial, narrative and board books to life in Microsoft Office -- all connected to the Adaptive cloud.

Awards and Accolades
Adaptive was honored to receive Company of the Year and Executive of the Year for Founder and Chairman Rob Hull in the BIG Awards for Business. Carolee Gearhart, Senior Vice President of Global Partners and International Sales, was also honored as a Top 50 Midmarket IT Vendor Executive.

Headcount
Adaptive has grown rapidly in staff to over 375 employees and is continuing to hire at a very rapid pace, which will result in the company doubling in size over the last year. This comes on the heels of the company's designation as Best Places to Work in 2014 by the San Francisco Business Times and Silicon Valley Business Journal, due in large part to Adaptive's healthy corporate culture and exceptionally high employee retention rate.

New Report on Customer Experiences, Successes
Already ranked #1 in customer satisfaction in independent industry surveys, Adaptive Insights also released today its landmark Adaptive Acceleration report highlighting the Adaptive customer experience, global enterprise successes, and industry inroads. The report showcases the groundswell of success that Adaptive customers have experienced using the suite: "My first order of business at Blurb was to implement Adaptive because I was so happy with how the solutions performed at a prior company.
