Crittercism Extends Global Reach with EUROPEAN Operations & Partner Program for App Development and Delivery Organizations

SAN FRANCISCO, June 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Crittercism, the leader in mobile App Performance Management (mAPM), today announced that it has expanded its global footprint with new operations in London to support the company's growing customer base in Europe and globally. Additionally, Crittercism is also unveiling a new partner program to empower app development and delivery organizations worldwide with Crittercism's suite of best-in-class mobile app performance management solutions to deliver high-performing mobile apps to their customers. New partners include leading international mobile engagement providers such as Mobiquity, SunFuture, codecentric, and more.

"Mobile apps have become an indispensable part of doing business for many organizations worldwide, making seamless app performance and reliability of paramount importance," said Andrew Levy, co-founder and CEO of Crittercism. "As mobile adoption rises, so do the challenges of maintaining control and visibility across global mobile environments. We specifically developed Crittercism to enable organizations to deliver the best mobile app experience on a global scale. We are also very excited to be working with leading app development and delivery organizations from around the world to provide high-performing apps to their customers."

Crittercism's expansion is in direct response to a surge in global demand for app performance management and will be used to fuel the company's growth abroad. In the past year, Crittercism has experienced significant growth with 45 percent of traffic coming from users outside the United States.

"Our readers expect seamless and reliable access to content across their mobile devices," said Paul-Henri BEDRY, Project Manager at Le Figaro, leading print and digital news publisher in France. "This requires rich insights and complete visibility into app performance so that we can identify, diagnose and fix issues before our users are affected. Crittercism provides us with the app quality metrics necessary to act more efficiently between bug fixes and new feature development. In the end, we benefit from improved user experience and positive reviews – both essential to our monetization strategy."

Key features of the new Crittercism Partner Program include:

• Recurring revenue generation through referral and reseller programs
• Free access to Crittercism Enterprise editions in dev and test phases of mobile apps as well as early access to product enhancements
• In-depth technical training on new product features, and access to newly developed certification courses

"Crittercism has quickly shown itself to be best-in-class in the Application Performance Management space," said Ty Rollin, chief technology officer of Mobiquity, Inc. "We are in the process of integrating this solution into our software development lifecycle (SDLC) for the products we build for ourselves and our customers."

"codecentric AG has been a leader in providing APM services in Europe for the past few years; we see mobile as the next key growth area," said Mirko Novakovic, co-founder and CEO of codecentric AG. "Partnering with Crittercism's mAPM solution will allow us to position ourselves at the top of this exploding market."

"We are excited to be partnering with Crittercism to expand our portfolio of products for Japan and Japanese companies around the world," said Hide Maeda, President & COO of SunFuture, Inc. "As the dominant player in mobile APM, Crittercism allows us to provide a best-of-breed solution to our customers!"

Crittercism provides organizations with complete visibility of all the elements affecting the performance of business-critical applications, enabling them to proactively identify and correct performance issues before their users are affected. The platform supports all mobile OS versions and is used in tens of thousands of apps across more than one billion monthly active users.
