Growing a World-Class Community of Code+People Analytics Pioneers
As we kick off 2018, all of us here at Seerene are pleased to welcome our many new customers to the community of IT innovators who are at the forefront of code+people analytics. Since last fall, we’ve extended Seerene’s reach, and momentum in this space continues to build across every industry. It is awesome to see that sales is humming and we closed at least one deal for every week of the year, maintained single digit SaaS churn, and achieved record sales and revenues in Q4 2017. On the product side, we have also seen a 600% increase of applications.
Just a few years ago, we started out with some of the biggest automotive and manufacturing businesses, and are now bringing the power of our software development intelligence to:
- A top 3 pharmaceutical company
- Europe’s largest consumer electronics retailer
- One of the world’s biggest beverage companies
- Leading businesses in financial services, telecommunications, and many other industries…
In my personal opinion, Seerene’s rapid growth is no surprise. Everywhere you look today, software is disrupting companies, redefining industries, and creating new category leaders. Now, the type of disruption varies from one industry to the next. For instance, pharmaceutical companies are using software for research, while car companies are using it for embedded systems and self-driving vehicles. But regardless of where the pressure is coming from, today’s industry leaders are all facing major disruptive forces from new startups that are taking a software-first approach to their industry.
One thing is clear — whether a brewery or an investment bank, software has become every company’s most important asset. The smart executives we’re working with recognize this fundamental shift, and realize how much of their business’ value comes from its software and pace of product innovation. And an intelligence platform like Seerene can help any software development team identify their velocity and productivity sinks, figure out the root causes of their top software risks, and find opportunities for code quality improvements. It’s a solution that is bridging the technical executive divide and providing transparency into every aspect of IT — from your code’s cognitive complexity and bug fixing ratios, to your development capacity and total person days invested on the people side of things.
David Lynch, the CEO of Australia & Asia at CPT Global and ex-CIO of DBS in Hong Kong, had these kind words to say about our solution:
“Seerene is giving CIOs, development leads and heads of digital revolutionary insights into their codebase. As the IT world continues to shift to agile and increases the adoption of devops, Seerene’s data-driven insights provide new ways to help enterprises improve their development efficiency. Whether applied upfront in projects and new development, or retrospectively across existing codesets, Seerene is an essential add to the managerial toolset of any large enterprise aiming to optimise their applications and developer resources.”
It’s always great to receive accolades like these from someone who understands the critical importance of deep insights into the health of a business’ software investment. As companies navigate their industry’s digital disruption in the coming years, those that survive will be organizations with world-class software assets at their core. That’s why Seerene’s product team is hard at work rolling out new enhancements that will further improve your ability to manage risk, boost your cost:return ratios, accelerate time-to-market, and ultimately help you run faster than the competition. More to come!
