Financial – Record-Breaking Growth Indicates Demand for Mobile-First ITSM

In H1’2016, EasyVista reached its highest half-year revenue in the company’s history with a record $12.5M, up more than 12% compared to H1’2015. SaaS sales in North America grew 26%, global license sales were up 21%, and new business accounted for 55% of sales revenues in North America.

“We are at the tipping point for IT service management,” said EasyVista CEO Sylvain Gauthier. “Our record first half of the year reflects a push for companies to reinvent the IT service role to serve the mobile workforces and provide the path to a digital workplace. Our increased R&D investments will allow our IT customers to reshape the value they provide to their increasingly mobile organizations with superior ITSM 2.0 solutions.”

“Mobile is one of the most critical elements for IT infrastructure and operations leaders in creating a digital workplace strategy,” stated Gartner analysts Leif-Olof Wallin, Ken Dulaney and Matthew W. Cain, in a report entitled Make Mobile Part of Your Digital Workplace Strategy. “The return on investment in mobile increases when viewed as part of a digital workplace strategy, compared to having a stand-alone mobile strategy.”
