Agresso (www.agresso.com/usa),
the ERP market's definition of agility, announced today that organic
North American sales of the Agresso Business World enterprise solutions
suite grew 62 percent in 2007. The announcement follows the release of
2007 revenue statistics by global parent Unit 4 Agresso in which the
company crested $480 million, growing 39% worldwide and beating
enterprise software industry averages.
Agresso North America recorded a series of first-ever,
million-dollar-plus contracts in 2007 to private and public sector
services organizations. The overall North American deal size grew to
$620,000 per contract.
Agresso’s revenue surge both domestically and
internationally has been tied to a strategic repositioning of the company’s
core strengths. Agresso specifically targets a dynamic segment of the
services sector that it calls BLINC -- Businesses Living IN Change.
Launched in mid-2006, the BLINC marketing and sales strategy underscores
strengths inherent in the underlying native architecture that allows
organizations to support business change easily and inexpensively.
"This has been a period of explosive growth
for us and we have risen to the challenge of successfully taking on the
multi-billion-dollar market leaders,” said
Agresso North America President, Shelley Zapp. "By
staying focused on sales activities that showcase our ability to save
organizations money over the long term, we have carved out a very
defensible niche. Companies and public sector organizations that select
Agresso are those that do their homework –
they have stopped buying into the ERP leaders’
proposition that business change is costly and difficult.”
Despite the strong 2007, Agresso’s North
American executives report that the current 2008 sales pipeline appears
48% stronger than it was at this time a year ago. The company has made
strong inroads into local government, non-profit, travel and
professional services organizations.
