The De Facto Standard in DevOps and Continuous Delivery
Numerous notable customer wins across finance, insurance, high-tech manufacturing and hospitality capped off an exciting year for Electric Cloud, with new business growing at 95 percent in 2018, all while setting the company’s highest ever subscription net retention rate, approaching 115 percent. The market is voting with its actions as both existing customers and new customers are dramatically increasing their investment in Electric Cloud’s products.

Electric Cloud’s ElectricFlow has become the de facto standard for application release orchestration for many organizations, including AdvancedMD, AGCO, E*TRADE, Samsung, TopDesk and Qualcomm because of its ability to:

• quickly implement and share secure, repeatable and adaptable pipelines that deliver mainframe, monolithic and microservices applications 
• deliver unprecedented, actionable insight into the health and status of enterprise releases, without requiring manual data collection and analysis 
• reliably scale as DevOps processes are rolled out across entire organization
