Appcelerator Sees Record Customer Adoption, Massive Expansion

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 17, 2015) - Appcelerator today announced significant traction of its mobile engagement platform across enterprises globally. Since raising $22 million in August 2014, the company has seen a dramatic uptick in new customers, expanded implementations and overall usage within its ecosystem, demonstrating a growing adoption of mobile tools as businesses enter the post-web world.

"Businesses across the globe and spanning literally every industry are fast realizing that we're in a world gone mobile," said Jeff Haynie, CEO of Appcelerator. "Where companies once thought the web tools of the past decade were 'good enough,' many are now awake to the fact that mobile is changing the technology stack in fundamental ways. Our successful 2014 is proof that enterprises are entering this post-web world with eyes wide open, looking to engage employees and customers with great experiences on the devices they care about most."

Highlights include:

Rapid Adoption, Rapid Uptake: In Q4 2014 the company's flagship offering, the Appcelerator Platform, saw an increase in new customers of 150 percent over the previous three quarters combined. These customers include such leading brands as Cintas, AmerisourceBergen and Family Dollar, as well as large international customers such as Santander Brazil and those in non-traditional industries, including Valacta. The Appcelerator Platform also continues to power a majority of mobile banking in North America, with 1,300+ financial institutions benefiting from faster time to market and superior mobile experiences for their customers.

Expansion in Federal and Pharmaceuticals: Governments and regulated industries see as clearly as any the mobile shift underway. Appcelerator struck major deals with government solutions providers, including federal integrator CACI and major federal reseller Carahsoft. The partnerships grant Appcelerator access to federal agencies and allow them to develop amazing mobile apps for their 320 million employees and constituents who are increasingly living on mobile. Additionally, two of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world now use the Appcelerator Platform to power their mobile strategies.

Ongoing Explosive Growth in the Mobile Ecosystem: Appcelerator powers over 100,000 apps available from the public app stores and scores more in private enterprise stores. There are currently better than 300 million mobile devices running an Appcelerator-powered app. Appcelerator was also recently named a "Leader" in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Mobile Application Development Platforms, earning placement in the highest quadrant for vision and execution. The Appcelerator Platform's mobile backend-as-a-service (MBaaS) powers billions of API calls per month, and within the first two months of 2015 has already processed more analytics events than in all of 2014.
