May 29, 2009 - Despite the global recession, Severa`s business is on the fast track, reaching revenue growth of 1,304 percent in the last four operating years. Its business achievements have been widely acknowledged by the Red Herring Global Award 2008 and by receiving Finland’s Young Entrepreneur Award, presented to Severa’s founding members.
Severa’s first television profile appeared April 1st during a broadcast of a series called “The Day`s Work” on Finnish television channel MTV3. This television serial launched several media spinoffs nationwide and soon Severa started to appear in media on a regular basis.
On May 12th, Severa appeared on channel four news Nelosen Uutiset that covered Severa’s success in the challenging economic environment. This particular TV spot soared website traffic three fold to unprecedented levels resulting in high customer signups.
“Our TV appearance on Nelonen was an amazing success for us. As soon as the program aired, our website stats were off the charts. Most of the visitors were Finnish viewers who found us through search engines while still watching the show,” said Zaki Usman, Marketing Director at Severa. “The high website activity combined with our free user license offer resulted in a substantial boost in customer signups for that day. This trend highlights how different mediums can be used together to solidify the Severa brand and message of a simplified business solution.”
Within the last few months Severa has also starred in YLE Kaakkois-Suomen Uutiset, Kauppalehti, Etelä-Saimaa and Rakennuslehti as a leading high-tech company that is breaking new ground.
The positive buzz around Severa is a result of the company’s persistent work at simplifying business tools for over 7,500 users. It has elevated Severa to a position of leadership in the professional services automation (PSA) industry. Impressive revenue growth numbers combined with several prestigious awards and rapid international adoption of Severa 3 all support the claim.
