San Mateo, Calif. – September 13, 2012 – DotNetNuke Corp., the company behind the most widely adopted Web Content Management Platform for Microsoft .NET, today announced a two year compounded annual growth rate of 103% for the period ending 2011. The company began licensing its Professional Edition product offering in 2009. DotNetNuke Corp. continued its strong growth in 2012, ending the second quarter with a 42% increase over first quarter 2012. The worldwide customer base for commercial products grew to over 2,000 during the same period. Customer loyalty also remained high, with a monthly churn of less than 1%. The number of commercial applications distributed through the DotNetNuke Store rose to over 10,000 apps and design templates. The DotNetNuke open source community also grew substantially, now powering over 700,000 production web sites worldwide and more than 1 million registered community members.

In November 2011, DotNetNuke tripled attendance at the company’s annual user conference. DNN World 2012, which will be held in Orlando, Florida from October 10 - 12, is on track to be the largest DotNetNuke event to date.

In addition to realizing strong growth across all customer segments, DotNetNuke’s commercial products have been implemented at an accelerated rate by federal, state and local government agencies, including the United States Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. In recognition of the significant adoption of DotNetNuke products by the Department of Defense, Les Benito, Director of Public Web for Defense Media Activity, will deliver a keynote address at this year’s DNN World conference.

The company plans to unveil DNN 7.0, a major upgrade to the DotNetNuke platform, at DNN World. DNN 7.0 includes a modern client- side development interface built on Microsoft’s Web API and ASP.Net platform. Based on the close integration of DNN 7.0 with Microsoft’s next generation server and web development tools, Scott Hunter, Principal Program Manager for Microsoft’s Web Platform, will also deliver a keynote presentation at the event in October.
