New clients, growth among existing clients drive firm`s record quarterly results and positive outlook for the year STERLING, Va.--(Business Wire)-- In another sign of an improving business climate, technology innovator Natural Insight is seeing expanded adoption of its Execution Intelligence platform in retail and other business sectors. By incorporating the solution into their business operations, client organizations are able to accelerate change as they pull out of the economic recession. "Our clients are using Natural Insight to position themselves for success," says Steve Brown, Vice President of Sales and Business Development. "At the same time, they`re using it to focus on improving efficiencies, and driving broader acceptance of new initiatives and operational strategies." The Northern Virginia technology firm is reporting continued growth among active users of its platform, and record levels of work assignments managed using the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution. Significant new business contracts in the first quarter, Brown notes, include the multi-year renewal of a contract to provide workforce scheduling and execution management technology for Acosta, a leading full-service sales and marketing agency providing outsourced headquarter sales, retail merchandising, marketing, and customer support services to manufacturers in the consumer packaged goods industry. Another new client is ActionLink, an Ohio-based provider of assisted sales, in-person and online coaching and brand advocacy. "With strong demand for our services, we elected to move from an in-house system to the industry`s leading platform," explains Delbert Tanner, Chief Operating Officer at ActionLink. "Improved operational efficiency will allow us to immediately provide improved performance and additional work accountability to our clients." In another industry sector, Black Photo Corporation, Canada`s premier destination for imaging and digital products and services, becomes the first Canadian retailer to select Natural Insight to manage Execution Intelligence of in-store activities and corporate initiatives. "This strong growth in customers is confirmation of our vision to improve accountability and Execution Intelligence in retail," states Stefan Midford, President and CEO of Natural Insight. "Our continued emphasis on innovation enables our clients to set the pace in their own markets." In talking with industry leaders, Midford adds, he`s seeing increasing confidence in the rebounding economy. "There is pent-up demand from the recession, and companies are being much more aggressive about positioning themselves to take full advantage of the continuing recovery."
