SAN MATEO, CA - (June 1, 2010) - Digital Fuel, the leader in SaaS IT Financial Management solutions, today announced record business results for the first quarter of 2010, fueled by surging demand for its flagship IT Financial Management SaaS solution.
"Business conditions are ripe for the kind of solutions Digital Fuel offers," stated Yisrael Dancziger, President and CEO of Digital Fuel. "The rapid rise in cloud computing and IT virtualization, combined with the continuing need for technology cost containment in organizations everywhere, has created incredible demand for our IT Financial Management solutions. We believe this situation will only grow stronger throughout the rest of 2010."
In Q1, Digital Fuel experienced a 45% increase in Committed Monthly Recurring Revenue (CMRR) for its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering, and a renewal rate that stands at an all-time high of 97%. The company continued its string of quarterly growth records, which followed its largest-ever pipeline for new business at the end of 2009.
Digital Fuel's revenue growth has been strong across all industry verticals including financial services, insurance, health care, manufacturing, consumer products, entertainment, communications, high technology, energy and many others.

"Our recent internal market studies with CIO-level executives corroborate what all the experts are saying-that despite the rebound in IT spending that's expected to occur this year, enterprise IT organizations will continue to look for ways to control costs and deliver more value to the business from IT spending," noted Dancziger. "Digital Fuel solutions are helping hundreds of companies manage the business of IT-and in many cases those companies are savings tens of millions of dollars each year while increasing value significantly."
