Sall also highlighted that the latest release, JMP 18.1, has been well-received and that JMP 19 is currently in development and taking great shape. The third EA was recently released. "Several hundred users have been using it and we've been getting great feedback," Sall said.
Strong sales performance and upcoming events
Sales Vice President Todd Hoffman (@ToddHoffman) shared the positive sales performance for Q3. "Spoiler alert: It was good!" Hoffman said. He shared that in Q3 NSR grew 7% year-over-year, all international sales were transitioning to JMP paperwork, and 30 teams reached their target Q3 attainment.
"The message for Q4 is simple," Hoffman said, "Keep the momentum, keep focus. Getting to your standalone target, and beyond, will help us have a great year!"
Senior Marketing Director Diana Levey (@Diana_Levey) provided details about Discovery Summit 2024, which is scheduled for Oct. 21-24. She encouraged employees to attend and bring strategic guests.
"This is our biggest marketing investment," Levey said. "Why put all the eggs in one basket? We know what works. It's about connecting users and their managers with what they need to be successful, to grow, and to do good things in the world. We’re connecting them with our employees, with statistical best practices, and with other researchers. We’re opening the eyes of leadership to what the world can be if they use JMP."
