Planisware reports eighth straight year of year-over-year revenue growth, hitting triple digits for the first time.
Planisware today announced strong results for 2020, continuing an eight-year growth streak, achieving revenue of $105 million, with North America registering 33% growth. This outstanding result came from multiple new lighthouse accounts, including Archer-Daniels-Midland, McKinstry, Kabam and Lear, coupled with significant expansion among existing accounts, including Pfizer and Lilly, and industry-leading retention among all customers.

Planisware Enterprise 7, released in December, introduces a full Enterprise Architecture module to help customers plan business transformation, and design an IT portfolio roadmap to support it. The new version also further advances Enterprise 7’s industry-leading Artificial Intelligence capabilities, enabling predictive analytics that can continuously improve with machine learning. Enterprise 7 also revamps the user interface, inspired by Google Material design principles to create a smooth user experience.
Dedicated to organizations looking for end-to-end portfolio visibility, Planisware Orchestra (the company’s lighter-weight, turnkey solution) also gained major enhancements in 2020. It deepened support for intuitive portfolio management, and for agile project planning in a comprehensive SaaS platform. Orchestra expands on its latest UX improvements to adapt to any agile management situation. This includes extending its Kanban support with new board features and a new interface to Jira. Orchestra brings structure and discipline to enterprise-wide project management processes and propels portfolio management maturity forward.
Focus on Community and Customer Success
Planisware’s Community and Customer Success initiatives were front and center for the company in 2020 and will continue to remain so in 2021. Successfully pivoting their focus to virtual events and engagement in response to the pandemic, Planisware hosted two virtual global conferences, as well as launched a new online Community Forum for customers and partners in 2020. The company’s Customer Success team also doubled in size, further helping clients to achieve maximum business value from Planisware solutions. More virtual events are planned for 2021, including customer focused Exchange21 events in North America and Europe, along with case study webinars and panel discussions with advanced practitioners. Planisware customers and partners benefit from this environment that lets them connect to share best practices and their experiences with Planisware’s SPM clouds.
