“We saw 65% growth in the first five months and our target is over 100% full-year growth,” said Mihai Guran, who became sales manager of the regional offices of the company eighteen months ago. Bitdefender’s revenue from sales of products tailored to businesses rose by more than 100% in 2014, as well.
“We’ve gained more than 1,000 small and medium-sized enterprise customers and about 115 medium and large organizations every month on average this year. The latter are companies that have desktops, mobile phones and servers,” Guran said.
In all, the company added about 43,000 endpoints (equipment running a security solution from Bitdefender i.e.) every month, he added. “It’s like gaining a big corporation as a customer every month. This shows at what rate we are growing.”
The company will not provide details about its global revenue or about its revenue on various markets. Its Romanian operations generated 277 million lei (EUR62 million) revenue in 2014, while exports stood at RON263 million. It budgeted RON400 million exports this year.
