All product lines grew, with Automic Release Automation growing +250 percent. Additionally, all regions accelerated, with Americas and APAC leading +100 percent license growth for the fourth quarter and fiscal year, respectively.

Customer satisfaction and commitment to future roadmaps was strong with contract renewals coming in at an industry best-in-class 96 percent, including former Orsyp customers, the company acquired by Automic in 2014, resulting in 2,700 customers actively using Automic's leading business automation software.
