Prodiance Completes Successful 2010 with Profitability and Key Wins at 4 of the Top 5 Financial Services Firms

Pleasanton, CA and London, UK (PRWEB) January 6, 2011

Prodiance Corporation, a global provider of Enterprise Risk Management solutions, today announced their most successful year ever in 2010 reaching profitability with an 80% increase in revenue over prior year’s results. This growth firmly establishes the company as the fastest growing Spreadsheet Control vendor and a key player in the overall Enterprise Risk Management market. Since launching the company in July of 2005, Prodiance has acquired more than 100 customers across 20 countries and 6 continents. Prodiance technology is now the solution of choice at 4 of Top 5 financial services firms in the world - all of which have enterprise-wide programs in place to mitigate spreadsheet and end-user computing (EUC) risk.

"In a relatively short period of time, Prodiance went from zero customers to becoming the fastest growing and most innovative Spreadsheet Control vendor," said Soheil Saadat, President and CEO at Prodiance. "Before we entered this market, the Spreadsheet Control market was a relatively stagnant industry. Prodiance redefined the requirements for Spreadsheet Control based on auditor guidance while delivering a user-friendly solution with enterprise class performance and scalability. Our 2010 results prove the company is setting the pace for the entire industry, and we will raise the bar again in 2011 with constant innovation and a continued focus on customer success."

Key drivers for Prodiance’s rapid growth in 2010 include a close partnership with Microsoft and leading audit firms, several global customer expansions, and an increasing number of regulatory mandates driving a sense of urgency for spreadsheet and EUC risk mitigation solutions, including the NAIC Model Audit Rule, SOX 404, Solvency II, OMB Circular A-123, and Basel III.
