Eyelit Inc., a manufacturing software provider for visibility, control,
and coordination of manufacturing operations for the aerospace &
defense, discrete electronics, semiconductor, and photovoltaic (solar)
industries, announces outstanding growth in the first half of 2012.
Business Results
In the first half of 2012, Eyelit’s revenue increased in key aspects of
the business, namely software licenses, professional services, and
product support. A large number of sales to new customers drove the
dramatic growth, resulting in a threefold increase in services revenue
as compared to the same period in 2011. The overall, second-quarter
revenue was the highest in the company’s history. Accordingly, Eyelit is
hiring additional staff in North America, Asia, and Europe, and securing
new business partnerships in Asia in order to keep pace with the rapid
growth.
Migrations from Legacy Systems
Eyelit’s customer base continued to expand with companies that wanted to
move away from legacy systems and adopt Eyelit’s technologically
advanced MES. Key wins were companies from the Applied Materials
customer base, including Eyelit’s first customer to migrate from Applied
Materials’ FactoryWorks MES. Following its success in migrating several
of its customers’ PROMIS MES sites, Eyelit is now helping other
customers migrate from FactoryWorks, WorkStream, and other aging
systems. Common factors in customers’ decisions to switch to Eyelit
include reduced costs and risks, and elimination of many custom
applications, which had been developed in-house to fill functional gaps
in old systems.
Product Development
In addition to product enhancements, two new software modules were
released in the first half of 2012 to address customer requests. The
Eyelit Mobile Web Portal™ provides “anywhere access” to manufacturing
and quality information through smartphones, tablets, and other
portable, web-enabled devices. The Eyelit Automated Data Services™
module incorporates innovative scripting capabilities to enable
end-users to automate communications between factory systems and
enterprise applications, resulting in a significant reduction in the
cost and complexity of data integration.
“Eyelit’s record growth is a testament to the inherent value of our
software solutions and our entire team. We are thrilled to help so many
companies make quantum leaps in technology by implementing our
state-of-the-art manufacturing solutions to keep pace with their
evolving business and information technology needs,” stated Dan Estrada,
Eyelit’s Vice-President of Sales and Marketing. “In addition to this
success, we recently concluded one of Eyelit’s largest deals, which is
not included in our record second quarter. We expect the second half of
2012 to be an exciting time for Eyelit and anticipate more
record-breaking achievements.”
