Like its customers, Arena is also growing fast, fueled by the company's continued success in the mid-enterprise and by high demand for the innovative new products Arena has released over the last nine months (Quality, Projects, Demand, Exchange and API). In the second quarter of this year, Arena grew four times faster than the PLM market as a whole, and in the mid-enterprise segment, the average deal size grew by 44 percent. 'Fast growing companies of all sizes have come to recognize that Arena's cloud PLM solutions enable them to take the money they would have spent in up-front capital and implementation costs for a traditional, on-premises PLM solution and invest it in engineering and NPD (new product development),' said Steve Chalgren, vice president of product management and strategy at Arena Solutions.
