AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Accruent, the fastest-growing and largest independent provider of real estate, facilities and asset management solutions, achieved another record year of growth across all key metrics in 2015. Through industry alignment and strategic product investment, Accruent gained market share in all industry verticals, expanded its international footprint and generated robust EBITDA growth.
Accruent grew both revenue and software bookings by 43 percent. The company’s focus on customer value included delivery of 64 product releases and the launch of AssetConnect, the first integrated solution that links capital planning with facilities management. In addition, Accruent enabled 139 implementation go-lives, an increase of 48 percent over the prior year. This focus drove 97 percent customer retention.
With the most complete solution set for delivering value across real estate and facilities management, Accruent added 171 new customers in 2015 and expanded its international presence with go-lives in Nigeria, Brazil and Colombia. Top line results were accompanied by increasing profitability as the company delivered its 24th consecutive quarter of EBITDA growth.
To continue this growth, Accruent announced the addition of two new executives to the team, Kelly Connery as chief revenue officer and John Borgerding as president.
Connery previously served as CRO at Bazaarvoice and draws upon 20 years of experience in building successful, high-growth companies and high-performing teams.
