Q2 2012 revenue was even overall compared to Q2 2011 (-2%) and to the previous quarter of 2012.
SaaS, the recurring component of revenue, was EUR 7M and represented 80% of the total revenue for the quarter. Compared to Q2 2011, SaaS was up 1%.
The Services component of revenue was lower than Q2 2011 (-11%), essentially due to improvements in implementation methodologies enabling faster time to benefit when deploying our solutions as well as delays in new customer implementation decisions in Europe.
Major Q2 2012 events
New Buyer Contracts and sales activity
New contracts in the quarter included Arkema, Pacific Rubiales, and Takeda along with large customers such as Electricite de France confirming renewal of long term business relationships with Hubwoo.
SAP BPO agreement renewal
During the quarter, Hubwoo announced the extension of its global business process outsourcing (BPO) agreement with SAP AG. The extension underscores the customer success to date resulting from the existing agreement and provides a framework to further continue innovation for existing customers and cooperation on joint go-to-market activities. The agreement is now extended for an incremental minimum of three years beyond the five year term of the initial agreement.
New Product Releases
The Business Network leverages three of the most pervasive technology drivers of the 21st century – community, search, and ratings – on top of a leading platform of enterprise-class B2B commerce. During the quarter, Hubwoo released significant functional enhancements to The Business Network.
- Invoice & Payment Status – Network offering that eliminates invoice & payment status inquiries to Accounts Payable by bringing all of an enterprise's status information to the cloud.
- Supplier Master Synchronization – New functionality in Hubwoo's Master Data Exchange integration framework that reduces data administration and increases accuracy. The new offering synchronizes suppliers' self-administered data between the Network and back-office systems.
The Business Network Growth
The Business Network community of businesses surpassed the 300,000 threshold of participants. Increases in invoice presentment suppliers, sourcing suppliers, and P2P transacting suppliers accounted for the change. Community critical mass increases value for both buyer and seller customers, and also provides a basis for planned derivative network revenues.
