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."
