Record Quarter Strengthens Huddle's Position as the Global Leader in Cloud Collaboration and Content Management

As Huddle's VP Enterprise, Mr O'Kane will drive the company's focus on enterprise and continue to build Huddle's presence in large companies and government organizations worldwide. In his role at Salesforce.com, Mr O'Kane led the sales team and was responsible for increasing recurring earnings from £2.5 million to £80 million over five years.

"Having played a key role in building one of the pioneers in cloud computing, I am excited to be joining Huddle - certainly Europe's leading cloud computing company - and such a committed and passionate team," said Simon O'Kane, VP Enterprise, Huddle. "At Salesforce.com, I learnt the difference between true and false cloud computing. I was impressed with the fact that Huddle regularly exceeds its guaranteed 99.9 per cent service level agreement. Over the last 90 days alone, it has had 100 per cent uptime. When you consider that recent outages from other major cloud vendors left teams without access to documents for hours at a time, this is quite an achievement. Should the contingency arise, Huddle releases updates to its service every four weeks with zero downtime and offers users a 100 per cent user adoption money back guarantee. The company's recent landmark 10 year deal with UK government and continuing success with government organizations in Belgium, Italy, Spain and Finland is testament to the fact that this is an organization destined for greatness."

Gartner reports that "team collaboration a growing segment gaining in popularity from influences from social software and distributed virtual teams." Figures from the analyst report reveal that "Software as a Service represents roughly 46 per cent of total market revenue in 2010."**

With its 99.9 per cent SLA and enterprise-grade security measures already exceeding the requirements of government organizations and businesses worldwide, Huddle is now focusing on solving the challenges of collaboration in large enterprises. Over the coming months, Huddle will enhance its enterprise content management capabilities, usability, multi-platform and mobility offering.
