Increased Demand for Flexible Enterprise Mobile Apps Drives Pyxis Mobile to Record-Breaking 2010

I

Pyxis Mobile, a leading mobile application platform provider, today announced record quarterly and 2010 revenues. Fourth quarter 2010 revenues increased more than 90 percent from the final quarter of 2009, to reach its peak in 12 years, while 2010 full-year revenue grew more than 60 percent from 2009. The company attributes much of the ongoing success to the flexibility that the Pyxis Mobile application platform provides and its ability to meet customers’ constantly changing needs. Pyxis Mobile’s momentum continues to rise after winning a record number of recurring license bookings that increased by over 350 percent in Q4 from Q3 2010.

Pyxis Mobile’s mounting success establishes the company as a leading force in the growing mobile application platform market. While this tremendous growth has resulted from a number of factors, it is largely attributed to the company’s unique product offering and newly restructured pricing model:

Comprehensive and Agile Platform: The company repositioned itself from a point-solution mobile application development company to a provider of the only mobile application development platform designed for today’s constantly changing environment. The configuration-based architecture enables users to make ongoing changes to their apps in real time. Users can easily modify data, integrate new data sources and add functionality to their mobile applications, allowing them to be more responsive to the changing needs of their employees and customers.g model:

Value-Driven Pricing Model: One of Pyxis Mobile’s most noteworthy changes in 2010 was the adaption to a new CPU-based pricing model that has no limitations on the number of users, applications or mobile device types. This server-based pricing is now more transparent and scalable, allowing companies to create and tailor mobile apps to their high-volume customers and employees without having to pay per user or per application.

“Our new pricing model was implemented in order to remove the constraints of user/application-based pricing,” said Steven Levy, CEO of Pyxis Mobile. “We want our customers to take full advantage of our platform by building as many apps as they want, for as many of their employees or customers as they want. Not only does the CPU-based model maximize the value that our customers get from the platform, but it also enables us to expand down market and offer our platform to a broader range of companies. Since it’s no longer a seven-figure decision to build mobile applications, companies of all sizes can start off small and increase their usage of the mobile application platform as their mobility needs expand.”
With the unmatched agility that the mobile application platform provides and the newly aligned pricing that has made this solution more accessible to the mid-market, the company has reached several noteworthy milestones in 2010. Some highlights include:

Awards and Recognition: Pyxis Mobile was recognized by several analyst firms and industry publications for its innovative mobile solution.
