Management Commentary: Memex's President & CEO David McPhail stated, "We are very proud of our accomplishments during fiscal 2015, and our team is focused on achieving even greater growth. More than 90% of manufacturers today run their factories without IIoT software and our job is to turn them on to MERLIN's well-documented return on investment. I commend each and every one of our employees for their contributions to this record year. And all of us want to thank our new and existing manufacturing customers for placing their trust in us as they take advantage of MERLIN software's productivity promise."
Memex's Vice President of Sales John Rattray stated, "We have expanded MERLIN's global customer footprint, continued investment in the development of our direct sales and partner channels, and achieved success with key partners. As well as customer expansion, we have immense potential within our existing install base. All of this progress is reflected in the numbers reported. The Industrial Internet of Things is a desirable concept to many advanced manufacturing firms. To MERLIN customers however, it's an achievable, real-time reality with fast payback."
