Neat® Continues Growth and Profitability in 2012; Adds New Cloud and Mobile Products

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Neat®, a leader in Digital Filing Systems for the small business and home markets, today announced another year of strong growth including significant gains in revenue, customers and product innovation.  Revenue for the year increased 57 percent year-over-year, and the company marked its third consecutive year of profitability. 

Key to the company's continued leadership in the Digital Filing System category was the general availability of NeatCloud® and NeatMobile® in the third quarter of 2012.  Since that time, of those customers that took the 30-day free trial of these offerings, more than 70 percent have converted to paid subscribers of the NeatCloud and NeatMobile services, introducing a healthy new stream of subscription-based recurring revenue to the company.

"The company realized a major objective in 2012 by seamlessly extending our existing offering with two products that meet the expectations of the post-PC era consumer," said Jim Foster, chief executive officer of Neat.  "Looking ahead, we will continue to extend our product capabilities to rapidly expand adoption of the new cloud and mobile solutions and capture the tremendous opportunity available for cloud-based Digital Filing Systems."
