SUNNYVALE, CA — (Marketwired) — 11/04/15 — eGain (NASDAQ: EGAN), the leading provider of cloud customer engagement solutions, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2016 first quarter ended September 30, 2015.
Ashu Roy, eGain–s CEO, commented, “Our new cloud bookings this quarter were up more than 300% from a year ago and opportunities in the pipeline reflect our ongoing transition to the cloud. As expected, our top line was impacted by this transition, with a 64% decrease in on-premise license revenue in the quarter that drove a 20% decline in total revenue.”
“We are pleased to promote Joe Brown to Head of Worldwide Sales, following the retirement of AJ Berkeley at the end of October. We want to thank AJ for his leadership and wish him well in retirement. Since joining eGain as the Head of North American sales in June, Joe has energized the team, attracted new talent and reorganized the salesforce to drive a land-and-expand sales strategy that we believe will drive tangible results in the coming quarters.”
“We are thrilled with the response to our launch of cloud-based omnichannel analytics and knowledge personalization, two hot areas in customer engagement innovation, at our Digital Summit in Chicago in October. In addition to learning from thought leaders like Forrester and company experts on how to operationalize digital transformation in customer engagement, attendees in record numbers enjoyed hearing real success stories from our Fortune 500 clients like HCSC and Andersen Windows,” Mr. Roy concluded.
