Foster City, Calif.—Oct. 31, 2014—Arena Solutions, a provider of cloud-based product lifecycle management (PLM) applications, announced strong year-over-year growth in Q3 2014 over Q3 2013, especially in the enterprise segment, in which the average deal size more than doubled. Overall, subscriptions from new customers grew 140 percent in Q3 2014 over the same period last year.
Arena experienced a 61 percent increase in net new subscriptions over that same period, the best in the company’s history. Net new subscriptions growth measures the total increase in all subscriptions—new customer subscriptions plus renewals and expansions—minus any cancellations. Once again, Arena’s growth was influenced by the rapid adoption of the new products Arena released over the past year, including quality, exchange, demand, application program interface (API) and projects.
“The market is clearly embracing the broader PLM product footprint we added to our solution over the past 12 months,” said Craig Livingston, CEO at Arena Solutions. “And we will continue to add new features that uniquely differentiate Arena in the PLM market, such as the release of Arena Scribe, a collaboration platform that enables our customers to collaborate with their internal teams, external suppliers and partners on individual items within the product record—all with a familiar social look and feel. Today, customers expect much more from their PLM system than as a place for the bill of materials (BOM) to live. It’s becoming the central hub for broad communications within the supply chain about the product record and is one of the reasons Arena customers consistently deliver their innovative products to market faster than their competitors.”

- Advanced Oncotherapy, PLC, which is a developer and provider of particle therapy systems that makes radiation less toxic for cancer patients.
