News Release
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Interactive Intelligence Group Inc. (Nasdaq: ININ), a global provider of software and services designed to improve the customer experience, has announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
“Our second-quarter revenues show the ongoing shift of our business to the cloud and were primarily impacted by lower than expected on-premises orders as well as the deferral of revenues from two sizable contracts we expected to recognize,” said Interactive Intelligence founder and CEO Dr. Donald Brown. “The shift to the cloud market is accelerating and will continue to result in more revenues being deferred to future quarters leading to greater overall growth of recurring revenue. Given the ongoing demand for our cloud-based offering and the strength of our pipeline globally, we remain committed to making investments that drive the growth of our business. With the release of our new multi-tenant Interactive Intelligence PureCloud offering expected in October, the company remains well positioned to gain market share and reduce cost of delivery.”
