This year has been an amazing year of growth for Komprise and I want to express my heartfelt thanks to our customers, partners, and employees. Each of you has contributed to the Komprise mission of Transforming Data Management and I am excited about our mutual achievements in 2018:
- Increased revenues by more than 200% quarter-over-quarter for every quarter in 2018
- A 600% footprint growth in existing customers who are using Komprise to manage more of their data
- Doubling Komprise employee headcount globally and adding new sales regions in EMEA
- Strengthening our Technology Partner relationships with an IBM Reseller relationship, Azure co-sell partnership, AWS Advanced Tier partnership and a strategic partnership with Western Digital
- The launch of three major product updates, including Ongoing Lifecycle Management, Data Access Anywhere, and NAS Migration
- Tripling of our channel partnerships
….and to make things interesting, my predications are that 2019 will bring new challenges and opportunities for managing unstructured data to us all:
- Data will continue to grow at an annual rate of 50% on average
- 75% of data on average will be cold and not accessed in over a year, and offloading it from expensive storage and backups will become even more of an imperative than it is today
- AI techniques, such as adaptive automation, deep analytics, and machine learning, will be used more pervasively for data management
Happy holidays to all of you and please stay tuned for an exciting announcement coming in January!
