Liferay Spain Sees Rapid Growth and Expands European Ecosystem
Published July 21st, 2009
Liferay, Inc., provider of Liferay Portal, the world’s leading open source portal for the enterprise, reports significant revenue growth in the European market with its newest office in Madrid, Spain. Liferay Spain’s contributions included several major client wins via an expanded partner network as well as growing sales of Enterprise Edition subscriptions.
The Madrid office began operations in Q1 of 2008 to help Liferay’s European headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany, meet strong demand for Liferay’s leading open source business solutions. After just one year of operations, it has seen impressive local demand in Spain, contributing roughly 17% of total European revenues in the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2009.
“We are very excited to see this growth in business,” commented Jorge Ferrer, Managing Director of Liferay Spain. “Liferay’s rising popularity across industries has been apparent in the volume of sales and the expansion of our business eco-system.”
As evidence of this growing demand, Liferay Spain signed three new service partners the past six months: iSOCO, IN2 and VASS. They, along with existing Spanish partners Comercio Electronico B2B 2000 and Germinus, provide a range of services around Liferay Portal with dedicated teams of experienced professionals that work closely with Liferay to provide innovative and cost-effective solutions with the lowest risks for their customers.
New clients won through this expanded partner network and through Liferay Spain span all industries and include:
The leading regional telecommunications provider
One of the main public research centers in Spain
A leading international, pharmacy-led health and beauty group
A publicly funded technology and software R&D center
A media publishing company
These new clients have subscribed to or have plans to subscribe to Liferay’s Enterprise Edition Subscription and Support services, which builds up the company’s strong base of recurring revenue.
