Panopto Announces 12th Consecutive Year of Record-Breaking Growth

SEATTLE, Sept. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Panopto, a leading enterprise video platform provider, announced today that it has accelerated the rapid year-over-year growth the company has produced annually since its founding in 2007.

For the company's most recent fiscal year, ending June 2019:

• New worldwide enterprise and education bookings grew 56% and 25%, respectively, over the prior twelve months
• ARR renewal rate increased to 95.1%, up from 94.3%

Significant Growth Across Enterprise and Education Markets
Worldwide, Panopto increased new bookings with enterprise business customers by 56 percent. Growth was particularly strong in North America, where new bookings increased 64 percent.

The company continued its strong track record of success with corporate training and communications teams, and also experienced accelerating demand for a new use case: serving as a searchable library for companies recording their internal meetings. In fiscal year 2019, Panopto customers recorded hundreds of thousands of hours of internal meetings, citing three primary reasons for doing so: improving employee productivity, preserving institutional knowledge, and reducing liability by maintaining digital records of meeting interactions.

Already an established leader in higher education video management, Panopto increased its worldwide academic new bookings by 25 percent in 2019. In 2019 Panopto also became the first video platform provider to join the Internet2 NET+ program. Internet2 is a non-profit technology community founded by the nation's leading higher education institutions. The NET+ Panopto service offers Internet2 member institutions discounted pricing, simplified purchasing with a common customer agreement, and secure, reliable streaming delivered over the Internet2 Network. To ensure that Panopto met the diverse requirements of Internet2 members, the company completed a rigorous, two-year service validation process with I2 institutions. These institutions performed a comprehensive review of Panopto's functionality, security, identity, accessibility, compliance, network architecture, and legal terms.

Significant Growth in Customer Usage
Panopto's momentum is also reflected in the accelerating use of its cloud video platform. Active viewership increased 22 percent, and Panopto Cloud customers now stream almost 3 million hours (more than 300 years' worth of video) every month to millions of viewers around the world. In aggregate, businesses and universities have amassed nearly 11 million videos in the Panopto Cloud, making Panopto the largest repository of expert learning videos in the world. As usage of Panopto has accelerated, the company's cloud video platform maintained an average uptime of 99.98 percent over the last 12 months.

Included among Panopto's new customers in fiscal year 2019 are Athena Health, Bank of Singapore, Bankers Life, City National Bank, Dana Corporation, Freeport-McMoRan, Georgetown University, MIT Sloan School of Management, Nike, Palo Alto Networks, Slack, Sorbonne Université, Stanford University, University College London in Qatar, University of Chicago, and Valvoline.
