Convio Acquires Analytics and Data Intelligence Firm StrategicOne
Addition of Data Intelligence Services Strengthens Enterprise Offering
Austin, January 31, 2011 - Convio, Inc. (NASDAQ: CNVO), announced today it has acquired StrategicOne, a leading provider of analytics, predictive modeling and database marketing services. By adding StrategicOne's capabilities to Convio's market leading software and service offerings, nonprofits can improve marketing and fundraising results by building stronger relationships with constituents and prospects. StrategicOne services help nonprofits discover, analyze and act on information to more effectively attract new constituents, retain existing ones, reactivate lapsed supporters and steward relationships to higher levels of engagement.
"Enterprise-size nonprofits need solutions that help them apply analytical intelligence to their constituent data to more successfully leverage relationships across channels and across the organization", said Gene Austin, Chairman and CEO of Convio. "The experience and expertise of the StrategicOne team combined with our increased investment in enterprise constituent engagement solutions, further strengthens Convio's position in helping large nonprofits maximize results".
"The StrategicOne portfolio of services are designed to increase an organizations fundraising and other engagement results by maximizing the lifetime value of each relationship", added Austin. "These services provide nonprofits with a better understanding of their constituents and prospects which allows them to develop campaigns across channels that more efficiently and effectively engage people to drive fundraising results, volunteerism, advocacy and other forms of engagement".
StrategicOne, headquartered in Overland Park, KS, was founded in 1997 with the mission to assist clients with predictive and actionable intelligence to improve constituent acquisition, retention and lifetime value across all channels.
"Convio is at the forefront in integrating online and traditional channels with social, mobile and other emerging technologies", said Michael Rogers, president and chief executive officer for StrategicOne. "We are proud to be joining a company that recognizes evolving market dynamics and is leading the way in helping nonprofits address those changes with innovative technology and services that help deliver fundraising results".
Under the terms of the agreement, Convio will pay approximately $5 million in cash and may also pay $1 million in cash based on successful achievement of performance targets payable over three years. Total revenue for StrategicOne was approximately $2 million in 2010. Convio expects the impact of the acquisition to be neutral to non-GAAP earnings per share on a full-year basis in 2011. The Company will provide additional financial detail regarding the transaction on its regularly scheduled fourth quarter earnings call, to be held February 3, 2011.
