Small World Labs announced it has added more than 50 new customers in the last nine months, surpassing the 100 customer milestone. Growth was present not only in the pace of new customer agreements, but also in the scope and size of organizations selecting Small World Labs for their enterprise social networking software and expertise.

Established businesses and organizations are increasingly adopting social networking as it allows them to better understand, engage and serve their key constituents. Marquee customers choosing Small World Labs over the course of the last nine months included: Beliefnet/Fox Digital Media, American Academy of Pediatrics, American Cancer Society, Melcrum and Domino’s Pizza MATRACA.

“A key component of our success has been the growing number of organizations that see the value of facilitating deeper and more relevant conversations, whether those conversations are internal among employees, or between businesses and their customers and partners,” said Michael Wilson, CEO of Small World Labs. “These organizations illustrate some of the benefits social media delivers, such as greater operational efficiency and profitability. Social networks and online communities give our customers a competitive advantage. It is that prospect that continues to drive the adoption of social media by enterprise players.”

With all the venture money flowing into Enterprise 2.0 SaaS, this company is in a good position to get acquired in 2008.

Neverfail, software company that provides affordable continuous availability and disaster recovery solutions, today announced that the company grew by 61 percent during the company’s fiscal year ending March 31. Neverfail’s 2007/8 growth far exceeded market expectations for host-based storage replication, which IDC estimated at 25.4 percent growth over 2006. The overall storage replication market for 2007 was $2.66 billion worldwide with host-based replication accounting for 11.5 percent or $305 million, according to IDC1.

“The host-based replication market shows strong adoption in particular for deployments in mid-size businesses, departmental applications in larger enterprises and remote and branch office deployments. While the entire storage replication market shows strong projected growth rates with a 13.6% CAGR between 2006 and 2011, of note, the host-based replication segment is outpacing the overall market growth with a 21.8% CAGR over the next five year period,” said Laura DuBois, Program Director for Storage Software at IDC. “Neverfail is a company capitalizing on this opportunity with solid go-to-market execution, application integration and virtualization support.”

“After a little more than a year as Neverfail’s CEO, our growth has beat even the high expectations I had set and I couldn’t be more pleased,” said Peter Parker, Neverfail Group CEO. “It is notable that our fourth quarter growth was up by 93 percent over the same period last year – clearly, the changes we’ve made in the last year are bearing fruit. We remain committed to our vision of creating a world where business applications are continuously available.”

Tangoe announced that the company achieved a milestone of more than 750,000 mobile devices under management. Representing a dramatic acceleration in wireless-related new business, the industry-leading milestone was achieved in Q1 — a record-breaking quarter in which more than 50 percent of the company’s 33 direct and indirect closed sales engagements focused in part, or wholly, on enterprise wireless device management.

Recent industry analyst reports revealed that the growth rate of wireless expense management (WEM) is soon expected to double that of fixed enterprise communications. Capitalizing on this expected growth in WEM, Tangoe’s new business adoption rates reflect the company’s ability to remain ahead of industry trends by anticipating and responding to evolving market needs.

As a result of the dramatic growth of wireless mobile communications and data devices, organizations are increasingly faced with challenges to manage their mobile assets. In response, Tangoe unveiled its CommCare™ technology-enabled services offering for mobile communications in 2007. Designed to address the unique challenges of the mobile enterprise environment, CommCare’s mobile solution offerings span the complete range of functionality and services required to ensure optimal financial and process management.

Underscoring the growing need for adopting a lifecycle approach to enterprise-wide mobile management, Ralph Rodriguez, senior vice president of technology research at Aberdeen Group, introduced Aberdeen’s recent WEM benchmark report, “Execute on Wireless Expense Management to Drive ROI,” by saying: “Mobility deployments and their ongoing management require a holistic lifecycle approach to cost reduction. This is because mobile devices are distinct within the enterprise and are inherently un-tethered, giving them distinct obsolescence issues while being truly mission-critical to the end-user. Because of this, enterprises must look for every opportunity to drive down wireless costs. Best-in-Class organizations recognize the value of wireless spend visibility and are creating new ways of reducing the total cost of their mobility deployments.”

“Achieving this three-quarter of a million mobile device milestone is clearly an achievement we’re proud of. As we rapidly approach the one million device mark in the months ahead, we remain focused on delivering value to Tangoe’s expanding client base,” commented Tangoe president and CEO Al Subbloie. “By leveraging patented technologies and vast domain expertise, Tangoe’s mobility solution offerings have enabled clients to gain better understanding and control of their mobile communications infrastructure, and their associated costs.”
