Datical Announces Record-Breaking 2016

The Leader in Database Release Automation Continues Dramatic Growth Through Product Innovation, Customer Growth and Significant Company Momentum

Austin, Texas – February 22nd, 2017 –Datical, the leading provider of database release automation solutions, closed a record 2016 with unprecedented growth. The company more than doubled year-over-year revenue, expanded its customer base, added to its seasoned executive team, secured a new round of funding, and drove market and product innovation. Datical continues to see overwhelming momentum as organizations work to remove the application release bottleneck created by the database as application release cycles become shorter and faster.

The road to digital transformation can be a bumpy one for enterprises as today’s business climate requires continuous innovation. According to a recent IDG Research survey from IT leaders, application developers and database administrators, findings indicated that database administrators are unable to keep up with the pace and frequency of database changes caused by the accelerated pace of application releases. Ninety-one percent of database administrators and 90 percent of application development managers cited database updates as the number one cause for application release delays. This creates a bottleneck and delays digital transformation initiatives.

“Datical is leading the way for modernization and improvement of the database release process to remove this as a barrier to delivering new application innovation,” said Derek Hutson, CEO of Datical. “We’ve proven it this past year with our own product innovations, expanded customer and partner ecosystem, and industry recognition. All of this underscores our mission to radically improve and simplify the ability to deliver continuous application innovation by automating the database release process.”
