We just closed the books on another successful year. Today, we announced Telligent’s business results for our fiscal year, which ended July 31, 2012. From the company’s first acquisition, to expanding our global footprint in Australia, to continuing our commitment to customer excellence, 2012 was full of major milestones. We couldn’t do it without you.

Hits, Highlights & Happenings from FY2012

Customers, Customers, Customers:
We added a whole host of new customers to the Telligent family last year. I’d like to extend a big welcome to Rackspace, Investec, Reed Business Information, BAI, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Oxfam and many others from the worlds of tech, telecom, nonprofit, government, publishing, and more. The list of companies is too numerous to name, but I want to thank you for your confidence and reaffirm our commitment to your success.

In addition, I want to acknowledge the customers who expanded their relationships with Telligent last year. Big thanks to Intel, Cox Communications, Microsoft, Titleist, Promethean, Sitecore, Lamps Plus, Apptio, Hyland Software and all of you who decided to entrust us as partners in your ongoing success. We thank you.

Innovation:
First, I want to recognize the customers who participate in our Community Advisory Board for all of the insight that you’ve given us over the last year. Your ideas and your feedback were instrumental to our 2012 product enhancements including:

  • Telligent Community 6.0
  • Telligent Enterprise 3.0
  • Telligent Social Suite for SharePoint
  • Telligent Connect for Sitecore

I’m looking forward to revealing what’s new for 2013 at The Big Social in September. Your input has also been instrumental in developing these upcoming fall releases: Telligent Community 7.0, Telligent Enterprise 4.0, Telligent Connect for SharePoint 2.0 and our soon-to-be-announced integration with Salesforce.com.

Industry Notes:
With your support, Telligent remains a leader in the social software industry. Here are just a few accolades from 2012:

  • Telligent won the 2012 Microsoft Digital Marketing Partner of the Year Award.
  • Founder and CTO Rob Howard was named a finalist by the Metroplex Technology Business Council (MTBC) in the 12th Annual Tech Titans Awards.
  • CFO Kristin Reichert was named a finalist by D CEO magazine in its Financial Executive Awards.

The Big Social:
Our inaugural user group conference, The Big Social, was a huge success. More than 300 people attended, with guests from around the world and as far away as Australia. Thanks to you, The Big Social 2012 is going to be an even bigger success.

We have more than 30 customers speaking this year including leaders from Dell, Emerson, Intel, HealthStream, Oxfam, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Texas Instruments, Kaseya, Rackspace and more. Registration is only open for a few more weeks, so register for The Big Social today.

  • John Rabara as Senior Vice President of Customer Care
  • Michael Cupps as Vice President of Americas Sales
  • Cecilia Edwards as Chief Strategy Officer
