LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Enterprise transformation platform provider Orbus Software, today announced it has met its forecasted annual recurring revenue (ARR) target for 2023, achieving 30% year-on-year growth. The ARR of the company’s flagship product and software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform OrbusInfinity grew by 56% in 2023, which is 26 times greater than its value in December 2020. This reflects the company’s significant growth in the three years since SilverTree Equity invested and Orbus moved to a subscription revenue model.
This key milestone enabled Orbus to hit profitability in Q3 2023, a quarter earlier than planned. The company also completed a full refinance of its debt with new provider Golub Capital in Q4 2023.
Throughout 2023, Orbus maintained its net revenue retention rate of 112% from 2022 and increased cloud customer retention from 96% in 2022 to 97% in 2023. The customer base continues to expand globally and across industries. SaaS customer growth increased by 50% from 2022, with key new names including ASICS, AutoZone, and California Independent Systems Operator, and the average ARR deal value increased by 37% compared with 2022.
Regulated industries continue to show the greatest demand for transformation software globally, with 31% of the new customers from the government sector. Finance, energy and utilities, and manufacturing followed closely, showing the importance of managing strategy, transformations, business processes, and regulatory requirements in a single platform.
Orbus supports its users on their transformation journeys to the cloud, removing technical debt and managing their risk and resilience. Throughout 2023, the company continued to migrate customers from its on-premises solution iServer to its cloud-native platform OrbusInfinity. Among those that have migrated recently are Alaska Airlines, Mizuho Bank, Absa, Australian Red Cross, and United Parcel Service (UPS).
As companies become digital by default, Gartner estimates that more than 95% of new digital workloads will be deployed on cloud-native platforms by 2025. In line with the growing use of the cloud, Orbus launched new capabilities in 2023, including its Sustainability Lens. This enables OrbusInfinity users to factor sustainability into all strategic decision-making processes. The company will launch an expanded Sustainability Management Solution in early 2024, which will be available for users to purchase as part of their OrbusInfinity package.
Orbus continued to expand its global partner network. Key alliances include DaCorp, DynPro, gwi.digital, RCG Global, Unipartner, and Vasa Digital Architects. This has resulted in significant growth, with partners supporting 34% of new customer deals in 2023.
Other significant milestones:
- Named a Leader in the 2023 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise Architecture Tools, in which it was the leading independent SaaS provider.
- Received the Silver award in the 'Best technology-based onboarding program' category at the Learning Technologies Awards 2023.
