Ephox gets wings

This past quarter was truly fantastic for us as we almost tripled our sales from the same quarter a year ago. We have added over 100 new customers in the past year and more than twice that number in repeat customers. Our resellers and partners add many more thousands of companies and hundreds of thousands of users.

Many of our new customers are household names and it is exciting seeing them using our software to power their web sites. In just the past few months our customers have included Red Bull (energy drinks), ANZ (Australia’s third largest bank), AHold (a $30B Dutch supermarket company), Generali (an insurance company with over 60,000 staff), Tupperware (famous for their parties) and a healthcare company with over 150,000 staff.

The past few years have seen us grow by 30-40% each year – a commendable achievement for a bootstrapped company that has not taken any venture capital and funded growth internally. However, our recent 100%+ growth has put that performance in perspective. We are now doing about as much business in a three-month period as we did in the whole of 2005.

In my humble opinion, web content management gets a much-needed usability and productivity boost from the innovations that our team work on each day. Here’s a salute to the good work that they do and a call to action for all of the good things that we know we need to do in the future!
