Exasol AG Secures New Contracts from the Financial Sector with 'Espresso'

On March 25, 2024, Exasol AG announced an expansion within the financial services sector, securing contracts with four new European and US-based customers in the first quarter of the year. This recent business growth has enhanced the company’s annual recurring revenues (ARR) by nearly one million euros, highlighting the financial sector's rising contribution to Exasol’s revenue, now representing about 25% of its ARR.

The majority of this new contract volume stems from a German-speaking customer in the DACH region, escalating its existing contract to a mid-six-digit euro figure. As part of their expansion, this IT service provider, specializing in managing data centers and IT operations for banks, will continue integrating Exasol's technology to boost data analytics applications. The expanded contract, focusing on deploying Exasol on-premise, is set for a minimum three-year duration.

Moreover, Exasol has successfully acquired a new banking sector client through partner sales with a German-speaking IT consultancy firm. This partnership aims at enhancing IT infrastructure and integrating Exasol as a key accelerator for data analytics processes. The growing relevance of partner sales signifies a promising growth avenue for Exasol.

Jörg Tewes, CEO of Exasol, expressed optimism over the continued momentum from the financial sector into the first quarter, stemming from escalating data volumes and the solution’s capability to fast-track data analytics processes. Tewes also highlighted the increasing need for data security and hybrid data management solutions in the financial industry.
