Much of this has been attributed to ARR growth in cloud offerings from Information Builders quadrupling over the course of the year, as well as cloud customers nearly tripling.
This announcement follows the recent release of the data and analytics provider’s cloud-first WebFOCUS platform and increased interest in cloud from new and existing customers.
Additionally, overall ARR growth continued in North America, with the company’s services particularly gaining traction within property and casualty insurance, governmental, banking and healthcare sectors.
“Our performance in 2019 is a testament to the trusted relationships we have with our customers and the passion and expertise our employees bring to work every day on their behalf,” said Frank J. Vella, chief executive officer at Information Builders.
“We’re going all in on cloud, continuing to invest in leadership, and hiring the best talent.
The benefits of public cloud for businesses are undeniable
“We are excited to lead the data and analytics category through the next decade and beyond.”
