quarter.

2012, and added nearly 800 new customers throughout the first half of 2013. The
company now serves more than 4,000 customers worldwide and, despite expansion,
has maintained a customer satisfaction rating exceeding 98%.

"Unitrends has been so successful these past
few years because we’ve taken the time to identify core metrics across all key
areas of the business and have put the resources in place to support each
one," said Mike Coney, president and CEO, Unitrends. "It’s easy to
put a laser focus on revenue and sales, but customer support, cutting-edge
technology, industry-leading channel programs and strategic partnerships must
also be prioritized equally. That has been our mission since I became CEO in
2009, and, as a result, we’ve experienced record growth for 18 consecutive
quarters and show no signs of slowing anytime soon."

  2013 over Q2 2012.

  well as at its sales and marketing hub in Burlington, MA.
