Simplifier sets course for strategic focus and successfully continues corporate growth

Wuerzburg, June 09, 2022 – The low-code provider looks back on a successful fiscal year 2021. The Wuerzburg-based company was not only able to further expand its sales channels, but also strengthen its focus on the core product and the associated licensing business. As a result, they closed the fiscal year on March 31st with above-average growth compared to the market. The company intends to continue on this successful course in the current fiscal year: Commitment in the areas of product communication and partner management as well as strategic growth are the focus for this.

Simplifier was able to record numerous successes in the past fiscal year: Through the acquisition of important customers, the expansion of important partnerships and significant company growth, the Wuerzburg-based company is once again significantly expanding its position in the low-code market.

Simplifier is operating in a rapidly growing market. For the year 2021, the analyst firm Forrester predicted an overall growth of the low-code market of 50 percent. The IT-focused market research company Gartner predicted market growth of almost 30 percent in 2021 for low-code platforms alone. The forecasts not only show that low-code is becoming increasingly established and gaining in importance, but also that demand for platforms is rising significantly. It is therefore all the more pleasing that Simplifier has again exceeded the comparative figures in the 2021 financial year and has once again significantly expanded its license business. With growth of almost 60 percent, the francs are significantly above market values. This success is based on successful acquisitions of major customers such as Felix Schöller, JAB and Preh.

In December 2021, the low-code provider and the Oldenburg-based IT company BTC announced the takeover of the Simplifier-based net portal solution by BTC Business Technology Consulting AG in January 2022. After many years of close cooperation between the partners, the companies decided to have BTC take over the portal, resulting in an intensification of their strategic partnership. This will enable the development of the network portal solution to be driven forward in the best possible way. At the same time, Simplifier strengthened its strategic focus on its core product.

Overall, close cooperation with implementation and sales partners is an important pillar in Simplifier’s sales mix, which has been strengthened since the previous fiscal year by, among other things, the expansion of partner management.

The company is actively driving forward the further development of its corporate strategy and continuously expanding the expertise available within the company. A key element of this will be the newly appointed Advisory Board from 2022. With their in-depth expertise in the areas of software, energy and industry, the three members will support the low-code provider in the strategic expansion of its business activities. From 2022, industry expert Thomas Dieringer, Dr. Markus Litpher, CEO of Lechwerke AG, and Thomas Fischer, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Mann+Hummel, will make their know-how available to the low-code provider.

In the current fiscal year, Simplifier is focusing even more strongly on the platform of the same name and the steadily growing community. To this end, the company laid an important foundation last winter by strengthening its product team, which will now also be responsible for marketing the platform.

The version released in May 2022 impresses with numerous new functions and optimized features in the areas of integration, interaction and governance.

In addition, the marketplace of the low-code provider was renewed. Since the relaunch on May 1, numerous ready-to-use components, from finished interfaces to use case templates, have been available for download by the community.

For the further development of the company and the low-code market, the Wuerzburg-based company relies on close cooperation.
