Percussion Software Wraps Up Successful 2012 — Nearly Triples New Customer Acquisition, and Grows CM1 Sales by 220%

WOBURN, MA — (Marketwire) — 02/07/13 — Percussion Software, a leading provider of web content management and content marketing software, today announced a record year for its web content marketing products. In 2012 Percussion nearly tripled the number of new customer wins and increased CM1 sales by 220%. This growth stemmed from adding new customers in key sectors such as high technology, higher education, state and local government agencies, and in the federal government.

“2012 was a transformational year for Percussion as customer adoption of CM1 scaled dramatically,” said Deidre Diamond, President and CEO, Percussion Software. “Content marketers have long struggled with how to incorporate their web sites into their content marketing strategy and scale content throughput. Today, Percussion enables marketers to break through these roadblocks to publish more content more frequently, in order to get found faster and increase visitor engagement.”

Percussion achieved a number of significant milestones in 2012, also the first full year in the market for Percussion CM1 Version 2. Marketers and web professionals are adopting Percussion-s software to enable their content marketing strategy and connect their web initiatives to better engage with prospects and lower the overall cost of demand generation.

In 2012 Percussion:

Increased the number of new CM1 customers by 280%

Grew CM1 product sales by 220%

Expanded the number of State and Local government agencies served by a factor of four

Achieved 350% new customer growth in the higher education sector

Percussion signed and expanded partnership agreements with several companies to extend Percussion-s reach across the entire content value chain — from planning to authoring to publishing to measurement. In addition to new partnerships with BigCommerce and ZMags, the relationship with editorial calendar provider DivvyHQ enables all Percussion customers to connect their content planning process with their content production process for the first time. Percussion also launched two new releases of its CM System development platform that enable the creation of advanced taxonomies and applying taxonomies to content, as well as improved contextual help, content groupings, and HTML5 support within the rich text editor.

Percussion has also focused on dramatically lowering the expected time to deploy a new site, with the majority of Percussion customers able to deploy their site in under 90 days. Recently live customers include Gardner-Webb University, Daon, Wallace State Community College, and NOAA-s National Marine Fisheries Service.
