Celebrating Two Years and Growing Strong!

We just marked our second anniversary since Dell acquired KACE. And, guess what? We’re still celebrating. Failed acquisitions are de rigueur for many high tech titans. Not at Dell.

Understanding that we’ve retained almost 90 percent of our employees, grown our workforce by almost 4x, and more than quadrupled our installed base of customers tells only part of the story. The real story is that in the last several years Dell has proven that it knows how to acquire and grow innovative software companies.

Importantly, that means that customers can expect Dell to deliver a steady stream of innovative, high value products from Dell; products that dramatically simplify their technology life and give them the power to do more than ever before. For long-time KACE customers, it means that we can spend more on R&D, more on global support and more on improving their KACE experience than ever before. Our commitment to client systems management, to cross-platform support and to easy-complete-affordable solutions has never been stronger.

This commitment to the success of our customers has resulted in tremendous progress for KACE in market recognition, product innovation, and most importantly, customer success.

To give you a snapshot of our recent milestones:

  • Built a 6,000-strong customer base – that’s about 13 new customers per day!
  • 71 percent of KACE users realize ROI in six months
  • Recognized as a ‘Value Leader’ in EMA’s Client Lifecycle Management (CLM) Radar Report for both enterprise and SMB environments

On this second anniversary, KACE thanks you, our customers, and we thank Michael Dell and Steve Felice for including us in your vision for Dell and continuing to invest in our business at levels we’d have thought unimaginable just a few years ago.

Keep an eye out this year for many new and exciting ways that Dell KACE can save time for you and money for your organizations. And as always, we will welcome as many of you as can make it to our annual User Konference in San Francisco. Hope to see you there!

Not only has there has been a strong customer success and rapid growth in our first year following our acquisition by Dell, but there have been multiple new product releases all stemming from direct customer feedback through Dell KACE’s UserVoice.
