During the quarter, GoodData continued to capitalize on the market shift from legacy business intelligence systems, mostly delivered by IT, to flexible, interactive and easy to use cloud-based platforms, demanded by business users.

According to Gartner, "data discovery alternatives to enterprise BI platforms offer highly interactive and graphical user interfaces built on in-memory architectures to address business users' unmet ease-of-use and rapid deployment needs. What began as a market buying trend in 2010 has only continued to expand. Sales results for vendors in this sector have been stellar and well above the market average."[1]

Growth Performance

GoodData grew quarterly bookings by 280 percent year-over-year, and 42 percent quarter-over-quarter. Monthly recurring revenue during the second quarter increased by 200 percent. In addition, GoodData signed its largest customer contract to date and closed the largest number of six-figure contracts in the company's history.

Notable new and expanded customer relationships during the quarter include Adobe, BELL, eMusic, HootSuite, Marketo, Marketron, MindBody, NetSuite, Pandora, Redfin and Time Warner. These companies are adopting GoodData to take charge of their data and turn it into a powerful business advantage.

“Analytics are a key part of Marketron’s Mediascape platform,” said Tony Gaughan, SVP Products and CTO at Marketron. “Realizing the many challenges in bringing superior BI to market, we are partnering with GoodData because their expertise blends very well with our vision—while being cost effective and agile. Using GoodData will differentiate our entire product solution in the marketplace.”

A large number of the new customers in the quarter built their data monetization product on top of the Powered By GoodData cloud platform, which is available through the GoodData partner program. The GoodData partner program experienced strong growth during the quarter, with over 20 new partnerships and an extended geographic presence, with the launch of GoodData AsiaPac.
