Company increases customer base and reports record sales, revenue and profits.

PARIS – Evidian, the European leader in identity and access management software, announced today record results for fiscal year 2008. The company added 113 new customers for a total of over 700 organizations, and posted year-over-year license sales growth of 46%.

“By demonstrating excellent performance in a challenging business environment, Evidian shows that its offer is what customers expect in order to cut costs and respond faster to new economic challenges,” said Hassan Maad, Evidian COO.

Among 2008 highlights, Evidian deployed single sign-on for the 110,000 employees of a large industrial customer. It encountered significant success in emerging IAM markets such as healthcare and finance. 20% of the year’s revenue was done in countries in which Evidian’s presence was not significant in 2007.

In September 2008, Gartner Inc. placed Evidian in the Leaders quadrant in its latest “Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Single Sign-On”. And in December 2008, Evidian was one of only two IAM vendors to increase their ranking in Butler Group’s global Market Lifecycle Ratings.

Evidian enables customers to deploy identity and access management using a field-proven method, with demonstrable return on investment in each phase. Each step builds on past successes, creating clear benefits and goodwill. This makes Evidian’s offer especially suited to 2009’s economy, as enterprises seek to produce results in the short term, while ensuring a durable foundation for the future.
