Liaison Technologies, a recognized leader in cloud-based integration and data management solutions, announced that the first quarter of 2017 was the company's best ever with double-digit year-over-year growth. Liaison also announced a significant expansion of its global sales force to meet demand generated by its groundbreaking Liaison ALLOY Platform.

Success in today's data-driven economy is increasingly tied to competence in integrating and managing data. That's why more companies are turning to Liaison, which provides a holistic, inherently compliant solution to data integration and data management challenges that legacy middleware and traditional Integration Platform as a Service providers can't match. By relying on the ALLOY Platform and Liaison's experienced team, companies can return bandwidth to their data and IT professionals while ensuring that their growing volume and variety of data is integrated, harmonized, accessible, secure and compliant.

"The ALLOY Platform's popularity continues to drive positive momentum for Liaison, resulting in double-digit year-over-year growth," said Joost Rutten, Chief Financial Officer of Liaison Technologies. "To meet rising demand, we're expanding our sales force by approximately 50 percent worldwide, and we will continue to invest in developing the ALLOY Platform."

The award-winning ALLOY Platform was designed specifically to address new strategic problems for data integration, including resource scarcity, data liberation and dynamic compliance requirements. The platform is being embraced for its unique managed services approach, which frees business and IT leaders from data integration, management and compliance tasks to focus on core competencies.

The platform is also the first to offer unified integration and data management capabilities, a feature that frees data from silos and enables users to more effectively integrate data from any number of disparate sources with less overhead. ALLOY achieves a central repository of clean quality data that can be used by enterprises to power business analytics tools of choice, and the platform's advanced microservices architecture, guaranteed compliant with industry data security and privacy standards, allows users to confidently scale and customize capabilities for changing business needs.

While Liaison exceeded its revenue targets and experienced its best quarter in the company's history, the company is driving multiple initiatives, including increasing the investment in sales and marketing to further capitalize on the tremendous interest in the ALLOY Platform.
