"Electric Cloud had a breakout year as our products and expertise met the growing market need to deliver software applications faster as part of strategic Agile and DevOps initiatives in large enterprises," said Steve Brodie, CEO for Electric Cloud. "From the successful launch of ElectricFlow Release, to introducing our ElectricFlow Community Edition, to co-hosting the second annual DevOps Enterprise Summit, the company really hit on all cylinders, resulting in the best Q4 and 2H in our history. This momentum bodes well for even stronger growth in 2016."
