Snow Software announced it
surpassed $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR). Fueled by
skyrocketing cloud adoption, increasing security threats and the need to
optimize IT budgets, Snow started the year with 40% year-over-year
growth in total ACV bookings driven by 115% growth in subscription ACV
bookings. These milestones were achieved as Snow successfully pivoted to
a recurring revenue business model, now at 75% recurring revenue and
growing, and remains on track to positive EBITDA in 2020.
"As
organizations accelerate their reliance on cloud, complex hybrid
environments are the new reality for many IT leaders, and Snow sits at
the nexus of this transformation," said Vishal Rao, President and Chief
Executive Officer at Snow. "Crossing $100 million ARR reaffirms that
visibility, optimization and governance across all technology is a
strategic priority for the enterprise. Of course, we would not have been
able to achieve this milestone without the continuous support of our
customers and partners. Today, we serve Global 2000 companies in
healthcare, finance, energy, defense and more - the trust that
organizations like NASA, Nordstrom, ING, Dyson and Vodafone have placed
in us is humbling. By providing a flexible platform of best-in-class
solutions for managing software, SaaS, hardware and cloud, we are
uniquely positioned to deliver long-term value for the world's largest
organizations."
Snow
has continued to double down on innovation to address the growing
market need for asset management, cost optimization and risk mitigation
both on-premises and in the cloud. Over the past year, Snow has deepened
its SaaS capabilities to include advanced functionality for essential
workplace tools such as Office 365 and Adobe Creative Suite as well as
remote work staples such as Zoom, GoToMeeting and WebEx, driving its
SaaS product to 500% year-over-year ACV bookings growth. Snow also acquired the leading hybrid cloud management company Embotics,
and has seen strong demand for its award-winning Commander cloud
management platform from both prospects and existing customers.
"Now,
more than ever, it's essential that companies optimize IT spend,
minimize risks and increase governance over technology investments,"
said Mike Risman, Chairman of the Board at Snow and Managing Partner at
Vitruvian. "When we first invested in Snow, they were the dominant
players in the European market with a strong focus on software asset
management. Over the past two years, they have truly transformed the
business to meet the needs of today's IT leaders. Snow has now achieved
global scale as a platform player with unmatched breadth and depth. We
are thrilled to continue working with the team as they deliver on Snow's
bold vision for technology intelligence."
