ENCINO, Calif., March 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Research Solutions, Inc., (OTCQB: RSSS), a pioneer in providing cloud-based solutions for scientific research, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Reprints Desk surpassed the milestones of one million U.S. dollars in annual recurring revenue and more than 100 software platform deployments in the company's ongoing transformation from a service only business model to software and services. Reprints Desk's focus on acquiring new customers in the small-to-medium sized business sectors and ongoing technology development have fueled the growth of its software-as-a-service (SaaS) sales.
In 2016, Reprints Desk announced private placement funding of $5.2 million with plans to apply capital to technology development and scaling the company's sales infrastructure. The sales team has since grown nearly 40% and the technology group is on track to deliver a more robust version of the SaaS research platform in 2017.
"Achieving these milestones is a demonstration of our company's ability to execute upon our transformation strategy," said Peter Derycz, Reprints Desk's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our focus is on continuing to satisfy both our blue-chip and substantial new customer bases as we prepare to introduce them to our upcoming innovations in research intelligence."
