Q4 Momentum -- Sixth Consecutive Record Quarter for the On-Demand CPM Leader -- Demonstrates Continued Growth in Bookings, Partners, Customers and the Overall Business


REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwire - February 2, 2011) - Host Analytics, the leading provider of on-demand corporate performance management (CPM) solutions, today announced a record fourth quarter with double the bookings in Q4 2010 over Q4 2009, and 56 percent growth in bookings quarter over quarter. It was the sixth consecutive record-breaking quarter for the company.

In the fourth quarter, Host Analytics signed an array of new customers such as Ferrotec, Gaco Western, LumaSense, XIOLINK and The University of Washington. Further customer validation was a Ventana Research Leadership Award 2010 win recognizing Host Analytics' customer Thule for best practices in financial analytics and performance. Host Analytics also welcomed new consulting partners, including Trikon Teknology Chicago and Capiotech (part of the ASG Group) in APAC, further expanding its market footprint around the world.

Supported by increasing SaaS adoption, the company closed out its fiscal year 2010 with approximately 200 enterprise customers, new products to market, strong industry validation, additional funding, a deepened bench of executive talent and a move to larger headquarters to accommodate the company's growth.

"We are getting out of 2010 what we put into it," explained Jon Kondo, CEO at Host Analytics. "I am most pleased with the ever increasing rate of customer acquisition in our core markets proving that a world-class SaaS CPM solution can be delivered to a broad audience. The market was better, yes, but we also put incredible resources behind improving our customer experience, investing in talent and delivering on technology and product innovation. In parallel, the growing acceptance of SaaS naturally seeped into finance and other executive departments at large global businesses creating a timely market opportunity for Host Analytics. In 2011, we will continue to deliver on our products and our promises."
