Halogen Software Achieves Record First Quarter, Marks 18 Quarters of Year-Over-Year Revenue Growth

Ottawa (PRWEB) April 24, 2007

Halogen Software Inc., the leading provider of Web-based employee performance and talent management software announced today that its first quarter of 2007 broke previous first quarter records for both new customer wins and revenue. This marks the organization?s 18th consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth. The record quarter was highlighted by the release of Halogen?s newest vertical offering, Halogen Employee Performance and Talent Management Suite for Financial Services? , as well as the announcement of its 2007 User Conference.

Halogen Employee Performance and Talent Management Suite for Financial Services? was released in January 2007, and is based on Halogen's experience working with close to 100 financial organizations worldwide. Built to address industry-specific challenges including regulatory compliance, difficulty implementing cultural shifts, the distributed nature of employees and the high turnover in customer-facing roles, the suite enables organizations to more effectively manage their talent to create significant cost savings and greater efficiency.

The company?s record first quarter included the addition of new customers such as: Carhartt, Beaumont Hospitals, Big Rock Casino, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, L-3 Communications Ilex Systems, Elliott Davis LLC, Columbia Financial Corporation, Oregon First Community Credit Union, Mobile Mental Health Center, Claraview, Loring, Wolcott & Coolidge and Balboa Capital Corporation.

?After completing our feasibility study, we estimate that implementing Halogen eAppraisal will save more than $ 100,000 over the next three years in manager time savings alone,? said Katrina Agusti, senior systems analyst with Carhartt. ?Equally important is how eAppraisal will enable us to increase communications during the evaluation period and throughout the year while increasing employee satisfaction with the overall appraisal process.?

New customers selected Halogen solutions due to their proven ability to meet a variety of needs including ease of use and configurability, while remaining highly cost effective. Burr, Pilger & Mayer, a firm providing accounting, tax, and other related professional services to individuals and business clients recently selected Halogen.

?We looked at a number of solutions, but we really liked Halogen?s look and feel, simplicity and the fact it is extremely configurable,? said Alfie Adona, career development manager with Burr, Pilger & Mayer. ?In the end, I only presented the Halogen offering to our executives. Our managing partner actually commented on how this would enable the process to still look and feel like our existing process.?

During the first quarter of 2007, Halogen announced its upcoming user conference to take place September 2007. Following the exceptional success of the user conference in 2006, this conference will enable Halogen users to strengthen their networks by interacting with peers, generate time and money saving ideas, attend sessions designed to address specific industry needs, discover key tips and tricks that further increase the usability of the Halogen Suite and more. Since the announcement of the conference, response has been very positive, with many existing and new customers set to attend.

WildTangent's Strong Growth Continues as Company Exceeds One Million Daily Game Downloads

Redmond, Wash. (PRWEB) November 2, 2009

WildTangent, a global games media company operating the fastest growing online games service and the largest game advertising network in the world, announced today that it achieved a new milestone, surpassing 1,000,000 daily game downloads through its WildTangent ORB game console.

On October 24, WildTangent crossed the one million daily download threshold, less than one year after the launch of its popular WildClub program which offers game players of all ages access to the company's patented digital currency, called WildCoins?. WildCoins allow players to rent or purchase any of the nearly 1,000 top and new family, casual and enthusiast games in the company's rapidly expanding game service.

"WildTangent is one of the few bright spots in an industry that has very recently been hit with layoffs and reorgs that challenge the well-being of even the most well-entrenched companies," said Michael Pachter, analyst at Wedbush Securities. "WildTangent's diversified business model of free, rent and purchase puts the company in a position to emerge from the economic recession in a great position to extend its growing market share."

WildTangent has surpassed the one million download threshold during a period that has historically been a lull before the holiday storm. The upcoming holiday season, the release of Windows 7, and an improving economy, has the company bullish that the dramatic growth will continue at an even greater pace.

"As a company, we've made significant changes over the past 12 months. The way in which consumers have embraced the WildClub program and our growing offering has far surpassed even our most optimistic forecasts," said Sean Vanderdasson, senior vice president of publishing at WildTangent. "We continue to focus on empowering the consumer, expanding our offering and providing a far superior alternative to the 'try-and-buy' only model."

The jump in game downloads and enrollment in its WildClub program aren't the only evidence WildTangent is experiencing record growth.

According to comScore, WildTangent has seen significant double-digit growth in its web traffic, helping explain the surge in game downloads. Most others in the games industry have experienced double-digit declines.

From September 2008 to September 2009, WildTangent traffic grew 44 percent while Yahoo (-11%), MSN Games (-16%) and Big Fish Games (-8%) all had significant drops in traffic to their game sites.

About WildTangent

Founded in 1998, WildTangent is a global games media company operating the fastest growing online games service and the largest game advertising network in the world. WildTangent has more than 40 million unique monthly gamers worldwide, offering the most popular online and downloadable games from the world's top developers and publishers.

The WildTangent ORB? game console has been selected by leading PC manufacturers including Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Toshiba to ship with new computers, giving it a huge global footprint of connected game playing consumers.

WildTangent advertisers include 20th Century FOX, Warner Brothers, Paramount, EA, Sony Playstation, Nintendo, Toyota, Honda, P&G, Unilever, Clorox and many others.
