Demand for SaaS enterprise transformation platform fuels growth, alongside impressive customer retention rates
Enterprise architecture solutions provider, Orbus Software, has achieved strong revenue growth in the last year. During this period, the SaaS business grew by 77%, with a net revenue retention of 112% and a customer retention rate of more than 97%. Since receiving investment in December 2020, the company’s SaaS platform ARR has grown by 2,035%.
Over 50% of the company’s growth came from EMEA, with government and finance industries accounting for more than half of this. Within North America, manufacturing was the key contributor, and APAC saw success in the engineering, mining, and utilities sectors. This highlights that, despite ongoing economic pressures, regulated sectors continue to invest in technology to modernize their operations and reinforces the need for an enterprise transformation platform that helps master complexity and streamline decision-making.
Gareth Burton, CEO of Orbus Software, noted, “Orbus’s continued strong growth is fundamentally driven by the value our solutions provide and the commitment of our global team. Our flagship product, OrbusInfinity, continues to attract new organizations and delight long-standing customers. We are committed to helping private and public organizations, across all geographies, with their strategic transformation initiatives, by providing forensic visibility into business operations and technology infrastructure through our enterprise transformation platform. Customers and analysts recognize Orbus as a trusted leader that empowers enterprises to restructure, re-imagine, and re-engineer their business processes and technology landscapes to drive long-term success.”
