What they do. “We have pioneered a new category of software, the Intelligent Data Management Cloud, or IDMC. IDMC is our AI-powered platform that connects, manages, and unifies data across any multi-cloud, hybrid system, empowering enterprises to modernize and advance their data strategies.” That’s fancy speak for cloud management.
Then land and expand. “Once customers have purchased one of our products — for example, Data Integration — they often identify additional use cases for our software and expand their use of our products accordingly. The effectiveness of our land and expand strategy is evidenced by our Subscription Net Retention Rate (NRR), which was 106%, 113%, and 114% as of the three months ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. We doubled the average subscription ARR per subscription customer from December 31, 2018 to June 30, 2021, from $98 thousand to $198 thousand.”
The last month of each Q is crazy. “Purchasing patterns for our products have followed quarterly and seasonal trends that we expect to continue. We typically sell a substantial portion of our software product licenses and services in the last month of each quarter, and demand for our software products and professional services are generally highest in the fourth quarter and lowest in the first quarter of each year.”
But focus on the big customers. “as of December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 and June 30, 2021, we had 27, 66, 104 and 116 customers individually with over $1 million in Subscription ARR each, respectively.”
Strategic partners need to be part of growth plan. “Our business and results of operations will also be significantly affected by our success in strengthening our relationships with strategic partners, including cloud hyperscalers, including AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, cloud partners such as Snowflake and Databricks, global system integrators, including Deloitte, Accenture and Cognizant, and value-added resellers and distributors. We believe further developing these key strategic relationships will help us scale and enhance co-selling of our products and services with these partners.”
