ColdFusion Sales Are Up Up UP!!!

Macromedia has posted Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2005 Results. Betsey Nelson (EVP and CFO) discussed "nice strong performance ... including Flex and ColdFusion", but did not go into product by product specifics.

We've been telling you for a while now that ColdFusion is doing very well, and I have been dying to share specifics but have been unable to do so. Until now, that is. So, here goes ...

• We just posted the best ColdFusion quarter in the past 4 years.
• Revenues generated from ColdFusion were up 45% quarter/quarter and up 30% Q4-05/Q4-04.
• As we expected, upgrades were very strong, but in addition new full units were also up 20% quarter/quarter.
• We booked a multi-million dollar ColdFusion deal, the largest single in the history of the product!
• Over 14,000 units of ColdFusion MX 7 are now in the hands of customers around the world. (This includes new units, upgrades, and delivery of ColdFusion MX 7 to active subscription holders).
• Looking at the overall year, ColdFusion product sales grew 20% year/year.
• And most importantly, new full unit sales increased by 11% year/year showing solid growth in the ColdFusion business.

This information should be posted somewhere on the Macromedia site shortly, I'll let you know when this occurs!
