Apriso Achieves Record Revenue in First Quarter 2011

Apriso, a leading provider of manufacturing software solutions, today announced record revenue achievement for the First Quarter 2011. The Company achieved total revenue growth of 132 percent on a year-over-year basis.

"The need for global manufacturing operations management solutions continues to grow as manufacturers come to understand the significant operational efficiencies that can be achieved when viewing, managing and continuously improving operations on an enterprise-wide basis," stated Jim Henderson, president and CEO of Apriso. "Our dramatic growth in the first quarter was driven by large scale roll-outs, demonstrating the value Apriso provides these manufacturers. Our consistent growth over the last few years validates our strategy to focus on delivering our best-in-class global manufacturing excellence solutions."
