The award recognizes Cities Digital’s outstanding performance last quarter, with a 550% increase in total new sales.

Beginning with the sale of a 200-user Rio ECM system to the City of Bloomington, MN, in May, Cities Digital went on to sell an additional 80 licenses to the City of Fargo, ND, ending the quarter with a 70-user Avante deal with Home Direct USA last month.

In comparison to Q2 ’09, Cities Digital:

  • Increased total new sales by 550%.
  • Boosted sales to new customers by 500%.
  • Enhanced existing customer sales by 700%.

This exponential growth is the result of “expanding when others are contracting.” According to Patrick Welsch, president of Cities Digital, “We have invested a huge amount of time and resources back into the company over the last year. We increased our consulting staff and our sales team is now four times as big as it was a year ago. I went from being a salesperson to a sales leader.”

Welsch is confident Cities Digital can continue its current growth, which is on track to double its sales figures over last year’s. “We have the right team with the right product at the right time,” he says.

“We’d been working with the City of Bloomington for eight years, but this year the Rio ECM message of unlimited servers and named user licensing really connected with them because they’re looking to build an enterprise-wide ECM infrastructure,” he continues. “At the same time, I have to credit the staff at Laserfiche for working with our team to make this quarter so successful.”
