Charting new courses: Bizzdesign’s bold year redefining Enterprise Architecture boundaries
Dec 21, 2023
We’ve had a big year at Bizzdesign where we’ve significantly impacted the Enterprise Architecture industry. Together with our customers, we’ve facilitated transformation journeys that have propelled significant growth and innovation – not only for our customers but also for us.
Our customers have repeatedly demonstrated that you can facilitate significant transformational change and measurable outcomes with the right enterprise architecture platform. We call this enabling ‘Change by Design’ with Bizzdesign Horizzon.
Let’s look at the milestones that we’ve achieved together with our customers in 2023…
We’re toasting to a landmark year at Bizzdesign, marked by a revenue growth of more than 30 percent. We’re also a SaaS sector leader, surpassing the Rule of 40, which is a testament to our healthy profitability and the vitality of our business model.
An important part of our growth strategy is to scale up by acquiring companies with complementary functionality and technology, to complement our organic profitable growth. We don’t just buy revenue; companies must have a strategic fit with Bizzdesign.
We started to fill in on our M&A strategy by acquiring UK-based Edifit, incorporating its product range and G-Cloud certification into our product roadmap to drive further innovation and enhance customer success. G-Cloud supports UK government departments in adopting cloud services, aligning with the government’s cloud-first policy and providing a streamlined process for procuring cloud services.
Throughout the year, we’ve also refined our collaborations with key partners, including industry giants like Amazon Web Services, ServiceNow, and others like Ellucian, Aquion-Australia, and ATD, to enhance our service delivery and customer outcomes.
Bizzdesign’s product roadmap is the cornerstone of our innovation, charting a strategic course for delivering solutions that meet and anticipate the evolving needs of our customers and the market. We’ve doubled our investments in our product roadmap, significantly enhancing our UI/UX and AI capabilities.
By integrating advanced AI functionalities and solidifying our API proposition, we’re at the forefront of driving digital transformation with intelligent insights. Additionally, the appointment of our new Heads of Technology and User Experience (UX) steer us towards pioneering innovation.
