Company Achieves Record Growth among Enterprise Clients, Continues International Market Expansion, and Sets an Industry Standard for Customer Satisfaction
SEATTLE, June 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Panopto, a leading video platform provider, today announced record growth in its sales to enterprise clients. For the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, the number of new corporate accounts in the trailing 12 months was more than double the number for the prior 12-month period. Growth was driven by strong demand in key vertical markets, including technology, manufacturing, healthcare, energy, financial services, law, construction, and insurance. The company also announced that, for the third year running, its customer service had received a 99% satisfaction rating by its clients, setting a benchmark for the video platform industry.
"Advances in video content management technology and shifting workforce demographics are driving unprecedented demand for enterprise video," said Eric Burns, CEO of Panopto. "As Baby Boomers retire at a record rate and Millennials become the majority of the workforce, video is the unifying technology that helps businesses preserve the knowledge of exiting employees while onboarding a new generation of digital natives. At Panopto, we have the privilege of helping these organizations achieve their goals through easy-to-use video software and top-notch customer service."
Upsurge in Product Usage Around the Globe
