OpenAir Continues Explosive Growth in 2nd Quarter
Adds over 35 new customers and increases revenues over 500%
Boston, MA (July 25, 2001) — OpenAir, provider of the complete
web-native professional services automation solution, today reported second
quarter results for the period ending June 30, 2001.
In the second quarter of 2001, more than 35 new mid-market customers
selected OpenAir's professional services automation solution, bringing the
company's customer base to over 500 firms. Growth continued in OpenAir's
traditionally strong industry segments, including technology consulting,
management consulting, advertising and PR, and internal professional services
groups. In the quarter, OpenAir increased revenues by over 500% versus Q2'00,
driven primarily by monthly software subscription fees.
CEO Morris Panner explained OpenAir's success, "As the economy has forced
professional services organizations to focus more on operational
effectiveness, those that evaluate OpenAir find it to be the fastest, most
cost-effective way to increase returns on their most important assets, namely
people and company knowledge."
Panner's assessment was reflected by several of OpenAir's new customers.
John Kneeley, CEO of Martin Progressive, an IT strategy consulting firm that
deployed OpenAir to 300 consultants across four offices, concluded, "It was an
easy decision for us. OpenAir offered a very rapid implementation schedule and
a pricing structure that minimized upfront costs, so the investment paid back
almost immediately. We are already seeing increases in operational efficiency
and have clearer, more immediate insights into key profitability drivers."
Other OpenAir highlights for Q2'01:
Completed three monthly product updates, enhancing the functionality
of each module within our solution based on customer feedback.
Named a top 20 Global ASP by ASPNews.com based on the size of the
OpenAir customer base and revenue streams, innovation, and recognition as a
leader by others in the industry.
Earned the IBM ASP Prime™ certification, attesting to the
scalability, reliability, availability, security and performance of the
OpenAir solution.
