PowerSearch 2007 and Website Traffic Spur Business Information Search Engine's Growth
Waltham, Mass. (PRWEB) May 14, 2007 -- ZoomInfo™, a business information search engine used to quickly find information about industries, companies, people and jobs found on the Business Web, recently closed the strongest first quarter in the company's history. Driven by an increase in Web site visitors and the release of ZoomInfo PowerSearch 2007, ZoomInfo's Q1 2007 revenues increased 35 percent over the same period last year.
"2007 is shaping up to be a defining year for ZoomInfo," said Jonathan Stern, CEO and founder of ZoomInfo. "In the first three months alone, we released PowerSearch 2007, which provided new workflow and data management features, announced a partnership with Indeed.com to integrate job search into our free http://www.zoominfo.com site, and broadened our customer base to include sales and marketing. Coming off of a record-breaking 2006, I was thrilled to see we maintained that momentum and are well on our way to profitably exceed $15 million in sales this year."
ZoomInfo also announced is has been named to this year's Red Herring 100, a prestigious award recognizing the most promising private companies driving the future of technology. Red Herring's editorial staff rigorously evaluated more than 800 private companies through a careful analysis of financial data and subjective criteria, including quality of management, execution of strategy, and dedication to research and development.
