Xero reaches over 147,000 customers in Australia
Leading online accounting software company Xero Limited (XRO) announces that
it has almost doubled customer numbers in Australia in the last 12 months,
with over 147,000 paying customers in Australia.
Recognition of this milestone and strategic partnerships will be an important
feature of Australian MD Chris Ridd's keynote at Xero's annual partner
conference Xerocon in Sydney today. Xerocon is expected to be the largest
accounting technology conference in Australia this year, with 1,300 paying
attendees and 82 exhibitors attending.
Xero will also announce that from September this year, Telstra, one of its
strategic partners, will be giving its business mobile customers the
opportunity to experience the benefits of cloud computing first hand, by
offering eligible customers a six month free trial of Xero.
In addition to this continued collaboration with Telstra, Xero will announce
a new strategic partnership with CGU, part of the IAG group which is
Australia's largest general insurer. CGU is working with Xero to simplify the
task of calculating insurance premiums for Workers' Compensation.
After being heralded by Forbes magazine earlier this year as the 'World's
most innovative growth company', the development team in Australia has grown
to over 50, and is helping to increase the velocity of feature development
for Xero globally.
