“Insite’s first quarter of 2016 represents the culmination of energy and commitment from team members across the entire company,” said Tony Abena, chief executive officer (CEO) of Insite Software. “All our hard work is paying off, as more organizations and the industry at large recognize the unique business benefits our connected commerce platform can deliver.” Abena added the company’s forecasts show momentum will continue to build throughout the remainder of 2016 as well.
Specifically, Insite realized major advancements in key areas of the company’s operations, including:
The biggest sales quarter in company history – In the first three months of 2016, Insite increased product revenue by 65 percent year-over-year, with the highest quarterly bookings in Insite history.
Increased customer and partner momentum – Record numbers of enterprise and mid-market customers selected Insite or went live with Insite-powered websites and portals during the first quarter of 2016. Additionally, during Q1 many customer sites were successfully implemented with the help of an exclusive team of experienced and certified delivery services partners, including Avanade, ICF International, RDA Corp. and Xcentium.
Continued industry recognition – In addition to Forrester’s ranking of Insite Software as a Leader in its “The Forrester Wave™: B2B Commerce Suites, Q2 2015″(1) last year, Insite announced in March 2016 it is one of 18 vendors included in a new Forrester Research report entitled “Vendor Landscape: Sales Enablement Automation (SEA) Solutions.”(2)

Realization of Insite’s connected commerce vision – In the first quarter of 2016, Insite marked a major step toward delivering on its connected commerce vision via an initial integration with the Storyworks1 sales enablement/digital content delivery platform it acquired in November 2015. With this integration, sales reps gain a holistic view of customer activity across online and offline sales channels via mobile access to up-to-date customer, order-history and order-status data stored in core, back-end business systems (such as CRM and ERP).
