MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwire - July 22, 2010) - Adaptive Planning, the worldwide leader in on-demand budgeting, forecasting, and reporting solutions for companies of all sizes, today announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the AlwaysOn Global 250 winners. Inclusion in the AlwaysOn Global 250 signifies leadership amongst its peers and game-changing approaches and technologies that are likely to disrupt existing markets and entrenched players in the Global Silicon Valley. Adaptive Planning was specially selected by the AlwaysOn editorial team and industry experts spanning the globe based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media buzz.
Adaptive Planning and the AlwaysOn Global 250 companies will be honored at AlwaysOn's eighth annual Summit at Stanford on July 27th, 2010, at the Frances C. Arrillaga Alumni Center at Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA.
This two-and-a-half-day executive gathering highlights the significant economic, political and commercial trends affecting the global technology industries. Summit at Stanford's goal is to identify the most promising entrepreneurial opportunities and investments in the global tech industry.
"After examining the companies that are on the AO Global 250 list, it's obvious that innovation is not only alive and well in the Global Silicon Valley, it's accelerating in economic power and scope," said Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. "The companies certainly represent some of the highest-growth opportunities in the private company marketplace."
The AlwaysOn Global 250 winners were selected from among thousands of domestic and international technology companies nominated by investors, bankers, journalists, and industry insiders. The AlwaysOn editorial team conducted a rigorous three-month selection process to finalize the 2010 list.
Adaptive Planning's on-demand budgeting, forecasting, and reporting solution provides an easy-to-use, affordable, and rapidly deployable alternative to both spreadsheets and traditional on-premise corporate performance management (CPM) software from Oracle/Hyperion, SAP/Business Objects, and IBM/Cognos. The only cloud-based CPM provider chosen for the award, Adaptive Planning has set the standard in the category, with the most customers, users, partners and awards, the fastest growth rate, and the highest customer satisfaction.
"We are pleased to receive this prestigious award," said William A. Soward, CEO of Adaptive Planning. "This recognition is testament not only to our strong momentum, but also to the tremendous value we are providing to customers as we help them successfully manage through challenging economic times."
