2010 overall revenue was euro 37.6 million, up 9% as compared to 2009. Growth was achieved in both the recurring and highly predictable SaaS component of revenue as well as our services revenue.
2010 services revenue was up 27% from 2009, largely due to the implementation of several significant new SRM customers as well support of on-premise and SAP Sourcing On-Demand deployments.
Q4 2010 revenues showed significant increase compared to Q4 2009 (+22%), with the services component up 60%, showing improved market conditions for both new customers as well as for incremental solutions and services to existing customers.
The supplier network revenue component within SaaS, which is based on thousands of small supplier customers, was up 13% from euro 1.9M in Q4 2009 to euro 2.2M in Q4 2010. The increase of new suppliers on the Hub and increased volume has spurred growth in this revenue component and is expected to continue in the future.
Sales and pipeline generation activity in both SaaS and Services continued to be strong for both the Americas and Europe.
