Cast Iron Systems Reports Best Quarter In Company History
Superior approach to connecting SaaS to the enterprise results in 100 percent growth over Q3 2007
Mountain View, CA, September 30, 2008 — Cast Iron Systems, the #1 SaaS Integration Company™, reports that its third fiscal quarter was the largest quarter in the company's history by all metrics. In Q3 2008, Cast Iron grew 100 percent over Q3 2007. The 2008 fiscal year already includes record-breaking first and second quarters, building on the company’s unprecedented success in FY2007.
"Our record growth, quarter after quarter, is based on the strength of our technology, integration expertise and quality service," said Ken Comée, CEO of Cast Iron Systems. "Our partnerships with the SaaS industry leaders are rapidly expanding, we’re beating the competition time after time and we’re acquiring new customers at a higher rate than any other integration vendor. As SaaS expands from departmental to company-wide usage, rapid integration with enterprise systems has become the prerequisite to the successful deployment of those SaaS applications."
"Our success is being driven by the increasing demand for SaaS integration across a myriad of new verticals. Industry leaders worldwide recognize that Cast Iron has the integration technology, experience, and partnerships they need to realize the full potential of their SaaS investments," said George Gallegos, vice president of sales at Cast Iron Systems.
Biomet Inc., a worldwide leader in the design and manufacture of products for the orthopedic, sports medicine, biologic, craniomaxillofacial and dental markets reflects Cast Iron’s expansion into new global verticals such as medical devices.
"The Cast Iron solution will help us streamline a broad range of internal processes," said Steve Zemke, director of IT of BIOMET Microfixation. "Our global supply chain initiative involves SAP, Oracle and Infor integration, which will be followed by global sales order visibility, order fulfillment, order validation, and other business-critical processes. We expect the Cast Iron solution to pay for itself within a very short time after production deployment."
In addition to Biomet Inc., Cast Iron added customers across myriad industries in Q3 including ACS Technologies, the leading provider of information management solutions for churches, schools, and other faith-based organizations; ActivIdentity Corporation, the trusted provider of identity assurance solutions for the enterprise, government, healthcare, and financial services markets worldwide; Ambassadors Group, a quarter-billion dollar publicly-traded educational travel company; AWPRx, a leading provider of workers’ compensation pharmacy management solutions; Budco, a marketing services provider to the world’s leading companies; CPI Security, the largest locally owned and operated security company in the southeastern United States; MSI Systems Integrators, a strategic information technology services company; Parature, the global leader in on-demand customer service software; Salary.com, a leading provider of on-demand compensation and talent management solutions; Teco Pneumatic, a full-line supplier of pneumatic components and electro-pneumatic control systems; among dozens of other new customers.
"To sustain our impressive growth, we will continue to work closely with our expanding network of industry-leading partners such as Salesforce.com, Taleo, Xactly, Eloqua and Gearworks among many others," continued Comée. "There is no doubt that demand for Cast Iron’s SaaS integration solution and expertise will continue to grow with the spread of SaaS and the global movement towards cloud computing."
