AutoMate’s Continuing Journey Round the Globe
AutoMate was born in 2004 with the idea of making the benefits of automation more readily available to companies of all sizes. We are pleased to announce that our objective has caught on beyond our original expectations, and that we now can add to our aim, not only all-sized companies, but all-sized countries as well. Sixty (60) of them to be exact. How did we get there?
It all started with the first sale of AutoMate in July 2004 which went to a company in New Jersey that delivers order transaction management software to the telecommunications industry. At the time of purchase, our customer, founded in 2000, was barely beyond their own start-up phase, and seeking to automate complex order entry processes, they turned to AutoMate. Since then, they’ve IPO’d on NASDAQ and grown revenues to more than $165M and command a market cap of over $1B. Having our automation platform chosen by a company that delivers automation to its own customers was a harbinger of things to come.
The first international sale of AutoMate happened later that same year 2004. AutoMate was installed at an IT services provider in Dijon, France, founded and run by a bootstrap entrepreneur. We’re still supporting the automation processes they deliver to their customers while they have grown to 15 people and nearly €2M in annual turnover.
We are not claiming that installing AutoMate will guarantee success, but we are saying that we enjoy seeing our customers being successful, growing and growing their use of our automation platform. And shouldn’t that be why we are in business, to help our customers be successful? Yes.
And the installations of AutoMate in New Jersey and France were only the beginning. AutoMate software can now claim to be installed in 60 different countries. That is nearly one-third of the world’s 193 sovereign nations (as reported by the United Nations) and ranges from the country with the largest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to the 131st ranked nation (Bahamas). Here is a complete (and growing) list of countries where you’ll find AutoMate:
We asked Frank Pacheco, our International Channel Sales Manager, to comment on why AutoMate has had success finding servers and PCs to call home in more than 60 countries. Here is what he had to say:
"AutoMate clients in 60 countries recognize that in a highly fluid and competitive global marketplace the automation of business processes is critical. Our AutoMate platforms empower our customers to reach higher levels of performance and productivity by using the most complete automation technology available. By supporting our customers' desires to create unique automation solutions for their target markets, we are helping them to be more competitive. Their success is truly our success."
