During Q2 2021, Bambuser made considerable enhancements to its product offering, while also releasing a number of feature updates and new capabilities to ensure the platform remains the most feature-rich, secure, compliant and user-friendly platform on the market.

A comment from CEO Maryam Ghahremani
"As we close the books for Q2, all our key metrics point in the right direction. The total contract value is up by +664% while our MRR is up by +263% compared to the same period last year. Last quarter, I wrote that we had successfully converted several proof-of-concept agreements (POC) into long-term agreements. I'm happy to confirm that this trend is continuing. Today, most of our agreements run for 12 months. However, during the second quarter, we've also begun signing agreements with durations of 24 and 36 months."
