OAKLAND, CA--(Marketwire - January 26, 2010) - Jitterbit, the leading provider of powerful,
flexible & easy-to-use data and application integration, today announced a year of record
growth in both its revenues and new customer engagements. On the heels of
this momentum, Jitterbit also announced a new addition to its executive
team with the appointment of Steve Yount as vice president of sales and
marketing.
The need to "do more with less" fueled demand for flexible, cost-effective
data
integration solutions in 2009. Using Jitterbit, technical business
analysts are able to connect legacy systems and on-premise enterprise
applications with today's growing cloud computing infrastructure. In
addition to more than 100 percent growth in revenues, other company
milestones include:
-- Jitterbit 3.0 Enterprise released for high volume
transactions and expanded connectivity options designed to address
large-scale enterprise integrations.
-- Awarded InfoWorld's Best of Open Source Software Awards in the "Best of
Open Source Middleware and Platforms" (BOSSIE) category for the
second consecutive year.
-- Partnered with leading CRM and ERP companies salesforce.com, NetSuite
and Oracle.
-- Doubled customer list while expanding its market footprint in
healthcare, government, logistics and technology industries.
-- Appointed Steve Yount as vice president of sales and marketing.
As Jitterbit's new vice president of sales and marketing, Yount will help
to develop overall corporate strategy and focus on building and maintaining
customer and partner relationships. Bringing more than 20 years of sales
leadership, business development and relationship marketing experience,
Yount has led two software companies to more than $100 million in revenues
and has held senior positions at IBM, Uccel, Legent, Neuron Data and Symix
amassing knowledge in enterprise software, web services, hosted
applications, subscription services and e-business products.
"In 2009 we experienced increased demand for Jitterbit as companies worked
to leverage legacy data by integrating it with cloud and SaaS systems.
Jitterbit delivers greater flexibility and value by allowing technical
business analysts to easily build and manage otherwise complex integration
projects," said Sharam Sasson, founder and CEO of Jitterbit. "We're
entering the new year bullish on continued growth as the market returns,
and we are thrilled to welcome Steve Yount to the executive team to help us
guide major initiatives and build customer relationships in the year
ahead."
