BoxTone(R), the expert in mobile user management, announced today that sales of the company's BoxTone for BlackBerry management and monitoring software continued to accelerate in the most recent fiscal quarter, with several new customers among the top Fortune 1000 and professional services companies.
For the second quarter ending June 30, 2007, revenue increased 300 percent from the same quarter in the prior year and 35 percent sequentially from the first quarter, supplemented by license renewal rates hovering near 100 percent. Now, more than 80 major organizations trust BoxTone for BlackBerry software to manage and monitor their complex Research in Motion (RIM) BlackBerry smartphone deployments end to end.
Alan Snyder, BoxTone's CEO, credited the company's success to an unwavering focus on real customer value backed by product innovations like those found in BoxTone version 3.0 (http://www.boxtone.com/products/announcingV3.aspx).
"BoxTone for BlackBerry clients routinely report strong ROI from their IT operations, service desk and telecom groups, along with improved satisfaction from their mobile users after implementing BoxTone," said Snyder. "Common results include fewer incidents and escalations, higher incident processing capability and faster incident resolution times, improved reallocation and recovery of underutilized devices, and superior VIP user service quality."
Snyder pointed to BoxTone client Synopsys, Inc., a world leader in semiconductor design software with more than 5,000 employees and $1B in revenue, as a prime example of BoxTone's value. According to Vipul Vishwanath, senior manager of IT at Synopsys, using BoxTone for BlackBerry the company "reduced troubleshooting time by 70 percent. For example, if it used to take us a day to find and fix a problem, we now know the source of the problem immediately and can fully investigate and resolve the problem in a few minutes. Faster troubleshooting has also allowed us to redeploy two administrators who had previously helped manage our BlackBerry network."
Synopsys is part of a marquis list of BlackBerry clients drawing on category leaders from all major industry verticals and government agencies, including:
2 of the top 5 Securities companies
2 of the top 5 Commercial Banks
2 of the top 5 Aerospace & Defense companies
