LUCCA, Italy, September 2, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Tagetik, a global provider of Performance Management, Enterprise Governance, Risk Compliance and Business Intelligence software solutions, today announced extremely positive business figures for the first half of 2010 Fiscal Year together with great achievements that amplify its role as international player in the CPM market.

2010 has started with a continued growth for Tagetik, explains Manuel Vellutini, Chief Operating Officer (COO) at Tagetik. We closed the semester with a +33% consolidated growth compared to last year, +61% growth on new license revenues and 32 new customers worldwide. This confirms our continuously expanding strategy to meet companies' needs - regardless of their size or business - as well as to build up strong relationships with major system integrators, technology leaders and local consulting specialists.

We have set ourselves highly ambitious and challenging objectives for 2010 and these results convince me that we are on the right track, comments Pierluigi Pierallini, President and CEO at Tagetik. We are proving on the market to be different as we remained an independent vendor and strongly committed on integrating Performance Management and BI processes with Collaboration and Communication technologies. Our mission today is to support organizations in managing and monitoring business performance more efficiently while improving operational and strategic decision-making. And we expect the same outstanding results for the year end.

In the last six months, Tagetik has opened new European offices in Turkey and the Nordic Region. The company is also planning the opening of new operations in Poland, the Middle East Region and South America for Q3/Q4 2010. In addition, Tagetik is continuing to build up a strong relationship with Microsoft Corp. in order to leverage the software tight integration with Microsoft(R) SharePoint(R) Server 2010 and the Microsoft business intelligence platform ( http://www.tagetik.com/events-news/press-releases/sharepoint2010) as well as its new vision 'Collaborative Performance Management'.
