SAN JOSE, CA -- 07/09/09 --
At a time when most software companies are
experiencing significant declines in software license revenues, Intacct, a
leader in cloud financial management and accounting applications, today
announced record results for its 2009 fiscal year, ended June 30. For the
full year, subscription revenues increased by 50% over 2008's previous
record results. Sequentially, the company saw strong growth in new business
which grew 56% in Q4 over the prior fiscal quarter. Throughout the fiscal
year, a record number of companies graduated from QuickBooks® to Intacct
and more companies than ever before switched their financial applications
from NetSuite, Microsoft and Sage to Intacct.
Having led Intacct to triple revenue over the past two and one half years,
Mike Braun, president and CEO of Intacct, announced his intent to retire by
the end of 2009 after 38 years in the information technology business.
Braun, who will turn 60 in October, has also recently retired from the
Board of Directors of Callidus Software. Braun will continue as CEO of
Intacct until a successor is named and will continue to serve on Intacct's
Board of Directors following his retirement.
"Intacct had another outstanding year. Our strategies, commitment to client
success and great execution have led to rapid growth that has surpassed our
competitors by a substantial margin," said Braun. "When I joined Intacct in
2007, I told our board that I wanted to retire at age 60; so now is the
time to begin an orderly transition process. I'm very proud of the work
we have done and excited about Intacct's future."
