BigMachines Achieves Record Growth in 2006

BigMachines, Inc., the leading provider of on-demand configuration and quoting software, achieved a record 2006 with a 59% growth in contract bookings and 79% jump in customers over 2005. In addition, the company launched two major product releases, adding new capabilities to a best-of-breed software solution to help companies streamline and simplify complex front-end sales processes - from inquiry-to-order.

BigMachines new customers serve a broad variety of markets including software, medical instruments, life sciences, web hosting, and industrial products. Customers added in 2006 include divisions of global leaders NTT, Emerson, ThermoFisher Scientific, Teradyne, and Kubota Tractor.

Our powerful new product and our continued commitment to make our solution easier than ever for customers to implement, use and maintain are clearly being applauded by the marketplace. This momentum has continued into early 2007, with an additional 11 new customers added since January 1. We're excited to continued this growth for the rest of 2007."
