Dallas, TX (PRWEB) February 19, 2014 -- M-Files Corporation, the developer of M-Files dynamic content management solutions that simplify and improve how businesses manage, secure and share information, today announced 2013 revenue, sales, user and channel growth figures that highlight the company's increasing market traction and rapid acquisition of new customers.
M-Files revenue increased more than 40 percent in 2013, culminating in a robust six-year growth rate of over 1,100 percent. The number of M-Files licenses sold in 2013 increased more than 45 percent over 2012. In addition, M-Files experienced an even greater surge in the adoption of its cloud-based enterprise content management (ECM) solutions, with over a 50 percent increase in cloud customers and more than a 60 percent increase in cloud-based revenue in 2013 over 2012.
The M-Files reseller channel was also a key driver of worldwide growth in 2013, with total revenue generated through the company’s partner network growing by nearly 80 percent compared to 2012. M-Files is also rapidly adding new channel partners, with currently more than 300 partners operating in 74 countries.
"2013 was a banner year for M-Files, and our rapid growth is testimony to how more and more businesses see M-Files as a superior alternative to the complex and cumbersome solutions offered by traditional ECM providers," said Jim Geary, executive chairman at M-Files Corporation. "Enterprises today often use a collection of business systems and network folders for storing and managing their documents, and this chaotic environment makes it nearly impossible to find vital business information. In a nutshell, we make it easier and faster for business users to find the 'right' content. M-Files simply works better, and that's why we’re winning."
