San Ramon, Calif. (November 17, 2022) – Accela®, the trusted provider of cloud solutions for government, today announced it closed the first quarter of its fiscal year with significant continued momentum, anchored by its industry-leading net retention and record annual recurring revenue (ARR) growth of nearly 16 percent. Accela welcomed new customers including the Egypt Ministry of Education; Lincoln, WA; and Mulberry, FL. Additionally, this past quarter, Accela announced a complementary solution to help customers affected by Hurricane Ian expedite inspections to help get displaced residents back into their homes.
“At our Accelarate conference last month, I was so inspired by the govtech professionals I met who are building resilient communities every day,” said Gary Kovacs, CEO at Accela. “Accela is proud to help these leaders address their communities’ urgent needs with modern government software solutions. Whether assisting with natural disaster recovery or making it easier for permits to be approved, we are motivated by empowering governments to serve their residents better.”
For the quarter ending September 30, 2022, in addition to the Egypt Ministry of Education; Lincoln, WA; and Mulberry, FL, Accela added new managed services customers including the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship, Jordan (MODEE), Abu Dhabi Customs Authority (ADCA), and Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ).
