SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwire - November 3, 2008) - Daptiv, the
on-demand leader in collaborative business
software, today announced strong continued business demand through the
third quarter of 2008, adding over 50 customers worldwide. Daptiv also
announced that seasoned finance leader Mark Klebanoff has joined the
company as CFO to support Daptiv's continued growth and market expansion.
In the third quarter, Daptiv attracted several new major customers,
including Badensolar of Germany, Blue Man Productions, Coach, the Defense
Intelligence Agency, the Dow Chemical Company, Fiserv, Frontline Systems of
Australia and Grubb & Ellis. More than 800 companies in virtually every
market segment today rely on Daptiv to gain insight into everyday work and
processes in the "mid-office" through Work Intelligence,
fundamentally transforming the way businesses approach collaboration and
work. Currently, twenty-two percent of Daptiv's customers are headquartered
internationally.
Daptiv is also announcing today the appointment of Mark Klebanoff as the
company's chief financial officer. Mark has a fifteen-year track record as
CFO of a number of successful Seattle area start-ups, including M:Metrics,
AccessLine Communications and RealNetworks, where he was instrumental in
the company's early capital raising efforts including its 1997 IPO. Mark
has also spent time in the venture capital community, serving as managing
director at Alexander Hutton Venture Partners. He has both a B.A. and an
M.B.A from Yale University.
"Mark is a seasoned financial executive and will be an invaluable asset to
the company as we continue our growth trajectory," said Jeff Pancottine,
CEO of Daptiv. "We've had great success in international markets in recent
months, and will focus on continuing to serve all of our customers by
providing them with easy-to-use, powerful tools that enable them to more
intelligently drill down into the work that's taking place across their
organizations to make more strategic business decisions."
