TORONTO, April 27, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Clarity Systems, a leader in corporate performance management (CPM) and financial governance solutions, today announced that Gartner, Inc. has reported that Clarity Systems is the fastest-growing CPM suite vendor in the world based on year over year (2008-2009) growth, according to a recently released Gartner Dataquest Market Statistics report entitled Market Share: Business Intelligence, Analytics and Performance Management Software, Worldwide - 2009 by Dan Sommer and Bhavish Sood.

Clarity's 38.0 percent growth worldwide in 2009 based on revenue (see Table 2-1 in the report) was more than ten times the overall growth rate of 3.6 percent averaged among all vendors.

We believe Clarity Systems is the fastest-growing CPM Suite vendor in the world because we supply our customers with world-class budgeting, planning, forecasting and consolidations functionality, and at the same time include the automation of external reporting processes. This 'unified' approach to CPM makes our solution unique in the market, and our rapid growth rate bears this out, said Mark Nashman, President and CTO, Clarity Systems.

Furthermore, as the global adoption of the XBRL reporting format gains momentum beyond the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission mandate and the UK iXBRL filing mandate, we expect that our growth rate will accelerate as more firms adopt our integrated approach to XBRL filing, another differentiator that we are very proud of, Nashman added.
