"Accela's record double-digit growth this past fiscal year demonstrates our leadership position at the heart of government and as a trusted partner accelerating modernization efforts across the industry," said Gary Kovacs, chief executive officer of Accela. "Quarter after quarter, we continue to meet our customers where they need us to be – at the center of their most critical operations – so they can focus on building vibrant communities and stellar resident experiences. Our robust cloud platform, deep customer relationships, extensive product expertise, and growing partner community form an unshakable foundation to fuel accelerated growth and even better address the needs of state and local government today."
More communities engage with Accela to modernize critical services
In the past twelve months, the company continued to extend its partnerships with dozens of new and existing agencies such as the city of Seattle; the city and county of Denver; Abu Dhabi Department of Health; Mendocino County, California; Butte County, California; Clark County, Nevada; and Los Angeles County Fire Department, Health Hazardous Materials Division.
Over the past fiscal year, Accela announced several landmark deals, including a 10-year, $6.2 million contract to lead Merced County, California's digital transformation. The county chose Accela for its single platform approach and ability to dissolve boundaries between departments. Additionally, the city of Dallas selected Accela's SaaS solutions to meet its goal of low-impact upgrades while providing a city-wide transformation to its Sustainable Development and Construction (SDC) Department services. The Texas Real Estate Commission was another deal of note.
In the quarter ending June 30, 2023, Accela announced a 19 percent increase in total ARR and continued 117 percent in net customer retention. During Q4 Accela welcomed new customers, including the State of Kansas Real Estate Commission; North Port, Florida; the city of Mansfield, Ohio; and University of California, San Francisco. The company also signed a multi-million dollar deal with Abu Dhabi Department of Health. There were nine new go-lives and completed SaaS upgrades, and the company booked new upgrade projects with 11 communities, including Los Angeles City Sanitation and the city of Knoxville, Tennessee.
Expanded Rapid Damage Assessment solution helps agencies respond to and prepare for natural disasters
