Nexthink Achieves 74 Percent Growth in 2017; Increases Global Base of Customers, Partners and Staff

BOSTON, Feb. 20, 2018 -- Nexthink®, a leader in digital experience management software for enterprises, today highlighted a successful 2017, announcing that it achieved a 74 percent increase in annual subscription revenue growth. This success was driven by a growing market for solutions that help enterprises to ensure a high-quality digital experience for their employees.  

Nexthink also announced it has completed the transition to a subscription offering, with more than 80 percent of its total revenue resulting from subscriptions – up from 40 percent just three years ago. The company signed multiple deals worth more than $1M USD of ACV in 2017 – and now counts more than 50 of the Fortune 2000 as customers, with a total of more than 5M enterprise endpoints worldwide.

“2017 was an incredible year. We successfully launched Nexthink Act, added more than 200 large enterprise customers and our customer success ratings are extremely positive. We see a strong need in the market – and our solution and expertise are charting the course to the future of the digital enterprise,” said Pedro Bados, CEO and co-founder of Nexthink.
