Palo Alto, Calif., February 23, 2016 – ThoughtSpot, the search-driven analytics company, today announced it exceeded growth targets for 2015 with more than 810 percent year-over-year increase in sales. Legacy BI vendors are losing ground as customers shift their technology budgets toward new modern BI platforms focused on making analytics easier for business people - and not just IT. Leading Fortune 500 brands in retail, financial services, telecom and healthcare are turning to ThoughtSpot’s natural language search interface to make it easier for rank and file employees to quickly analyze their company data. ThoughtSpot’s machine learning technology draws on the collective intelligence within an organization to help non-technical business people build their own reports and dashboards in seconds.

“In the past twelve months, ThoughtSpot has made major advancements in our search-driven analytics technology, rapidly added new customers, and filled an unmet need in the market for easy-to-use business intelligence,” said Ajeet Singh, CEO of ThoughtSpot. “Our customers have seen tremendous value in placing the power of true self-service analytics into the hands of all their business users. We have finally made it easy for any business person to be their own data analyst. This year we surpassed one million searches on the ThoughtSpot platform, validating our vision that analytics can be valuable and usable for all employees - without complex degrees or multi-day training classes.”
