Christmas, Charles Bridge - Prague, Czech Republic

We wanted to take a minute and wish our community Happy Holidays and thank you for an eventful year. From our beta launch at the end of 2008 to our seed round of funding in April, through our first production release in July to our company launch in November: it’s been a year full of accomplishment.

In this time, we have seen GoodData grown through new UI design, extended data management tools, new dashboards and charting libraries, and dedicated products such as GoodData for NetSuite and GoodData for Salesforce. We started the year with a small group of early beta customers, and will end it with over 2,500 trial projects. Thank you for your support!

 

• Christmas came early for GoodData. In case you haven’t heard, we were recently named winner of the third annual Amazon Web Services Startup Challenge. GoodData was selected from over 1,000 entries as the startup building the most impressive business in the cloud on Amazon Web Services. We are thrilled that Amazon and the emerging cloud computing community recognize the potential Cloud BI has to move analytics from being a luxury good available only to the richest companies to something that every company can use to make better business decisions.
