POTTSVILLE, Pa., Feb. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- EXTOL International, a leading B2B integration solution provider, today announced strong fiscal 2010 growth, with software sales up 55 percent over 2009. EXTOL delivered a robust business performance across a number of areas, including new customer wins, new partnership deals and the launch of the latest version of its flagship product, EXTOL Business Integrator. In December alone, EXTOL posted the second-highest month of revenue in the company's history.

• Increased client base. Notable customer wins included Hornell Brewing—manufacturer of AriZona Iced Tea, Old Dominion Freight Lines and Wausau Paper.

• Partner network growth. EXTOL signed several new business partners, including TMW Systems, a provider of fleet and transportation management software. The company's growing partner network contributed to more than 30 percent of new client growth.

• Product line growth. EXTOL launched EBI 2.5, which includes design-time tools that automate the most time-consuming and expensive activities in the integration lifecycle, allowing companies to reduce business integration time, effort and costs by 70 percent or more.

• Market recognition. EXTOL was named to Software Magazine's 28th annual Software 500 as one of the world's largest software and service providers. EXTOL's Secure 5.4 was also certified AS2 Interoperable (AS21Q10) by Drummond Group for the sixth consecutive year.
