Bernshteyn will touch on how gaining end-user adoption will help companies to drive savings as well as discuss which key areas session attendees should address when creating a best-in-class, strategic organization.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="color: #808080;">Triple-digit Revenue Growth in FY2011 Highlights Demand<br />
For Cloud-based e-Procurement Software</span></strong></p>
<p>SAN MATEO, Calif. – January 17, 2012 – <a href="http://www.coupa.com" target="_blank">Coupa Software</a>, the leading provider of innovative cloud spend optimization software that enables customers to reduce expenses and maximize profitability, today announced record-breaking sales, customer acquisitions and usage for fiscal year 2011.</p>
<p>2011 was another banner year for Coupa, with tremendous growth across the board in revenue, customers, spend under management and global expansion. 2011 revenues increased by more than 120 percent while users of the software also rose 100 percent.</p>
<p>“We are thrilled with our record revenue and customer growth,” said Rob Bernshteyn, CEO of Coupa. “It validates that the procurement and finance industries need a cloud-based solution that delivers real measurable results like Coupa does. In 2012, our customers will continue to inspire us to develop tools that help them spend responsibly.”</p>
<p>“The rapid adoption of Coupa in the market is indicative of how enterprises are embracing the cloud to get quick time-to-value from their applications,” said Constantine G. Limberakis, senior research analyst at the Aberdeen Group. “Coupa is a breath of fresh air for companies looking for an alternative to traditional procurement and expense management platforms that require long implementation times and extensive training. Essentially, Coupa has cracked the code on usability based on a walk-up user interface approach. I view this as a major reason for their accelerated growth and continued success.”</p>
<p>“We needed clear visibility into our spend and procure-to-pay processes,” said Matthew O’Malley, Procurement &amp; Sourcing manager, Journal Communications. “We selected Coupa from an exhaustive list of providers because Coupa is the only procurement solution that makes it simple for our employees to use while providing clear visibility into our spend and processes.”</p>
<p>Key highlights from Coupa’s fiscal 2011 include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Revenue: FY2011 revenue grew by more than 120 percent during FY2010, maintaining Coupa’s lead as one of the fastest-growing cloud software providers.</li>
<li><strong>Annual Contract Value:</strong> Coupa’s new annual contract value has increased sequentially for the past 12 quarters, proving the accelerating demand for its innovative cloud spend management offering.</li>
<li><strong>Customer Transactions:</strong> Coupa enjoyed accelerated customer growth as enterprises worldwide rushed to adopt an easy-to-deploy cloud procurement solution instead of traditional enterprise applications such as Ariba, Oracle and SAP. Total subscription sales transactions for 2011 totaled 152, with a healthy mix of new customers and add-on seats or modules.</li>
</ul>
<p>-       2011 customer highlights included: Subway/IPC, Home Retail Group, Molina Healthcare, BNP Paribas, Ministry Health Care, Colliers International, B&amp;H Photo, Savient Pharmaceuticals, Universal Music Group, Endo Pharmaceuticals and many others.</p>
<p>-       A Q4 customer highlight was Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A., Inc. (TMS) subscribing to Coupa’s spend management platform after a rigorous selection process. TMS selected Coupa because of its superior usability and scalability, prerequisites for ensuring wide adoption and spend under management. Coupa’s culture and bold vision in the spend management space was also a key reason that TMS wanted to engage in a long-term results-oriented business relationship.</p>
<ul>
<li>Usage: Spend through the Coupa Cloud Spend Management platform grew at a rate of 150 percent year over year, with the Smarter Expense Management module adoption alone growing at more than 900 percent.</li>
<li>Renewals: Coupa reported strong customer loyalty, as evidenced by its greater than 90 percent subscription renewal rate.</li>
<li>Adoption and Usage: Active users of the Coupa cloud software grew by approximately 100 percent, proving ease of use and value.</li>

<li><strong>Employees:</strong> Coupa experienced massive expansion in 2011 to meet the growing demand for its solution worldwide. The company relocated to larger headquarters in San Mateo, California to accommodate its 100 percent employee growth rate.</li>
<li><strong>Product Expansion</strong>: In 2011, Coupa unveiled numerous product announcements. The most significant were the <a href="http://www.coupa.com/solutions/releases/may-11/" target="_blank">Coupa Spring ’11</a> release, introducing customers to new features and advancements, and the <a href="http://www.coupa.com/solutions/spend-optimizer/" target="_blank">Coupa Spend Optimizer</a>, which offers advanced spend analytics for everyone across organizations, including finance, line of business and procurement, to maximize their spend power with easy-to-access reports.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>New Advanced Spend Analytics offering gives organizations immediate access to spend intelligence for rapid spend management improvement </h4>
<p><strong>SAN MATEO, Calif.</strong> – Coupa Software, the leading provider of Cloud Spend Management, today announced Coupa Spend Optimizer, an advanced spend analytics solution that helps users make better spend management decisions. Through Coupa Spend Optimizer, customers have unprecedented access to robust spend management business intelligence without the headache of expensive and difficult deployments common in the spend analytics industry. The reporting platform provides intuitive graphical dashboards and charts making it easy for customers to analyze complex data and improve their spend management.</p>
<p>Coupa Spend Optimizer rounds out the suite of reporting tools available in Coupa’s Cloud Spend Management solution. Coupa’s current reporting capabilities include transaction reporting, executive dashboards, and peer benchmark reporting. </p>
<p>Coupa Spend Optimizer dashboard reports and alerts provide insight into contract management, percent of spend under management, workflow efficiency analysis, and cash management analysis to name a few.</p>
<p><strong>Improved Access:</strong> With Coupa Spend Optimizer, Coupa brings ease-of-use to the world of spend intelligence by making business-critical information accessible to everyone who needs it, from procurement and finance professionals as well as line of business managers. </p>
<p>Coupa Spend Optimizer also provides access to information from other parts of the organization such as multiple ERP or HR systems. By aggregating and normalizing this information with Coupa spend data, customers have unparalleled visibility of spend across their entire organization. </p>
<p><strong>Easily Accessible:</strong> Traditionally advanced spend intelligence reporting has been the domain of only advanced users and IT organizations who hold the keys to the company’s data. Weeks and months can pass until the business users receive the reports they require. With Coupa Spend Optimizer, customers have this information at their fingertips through intuitive graphical dashboards and reports that are self-generated. They no longer have to wait for quarterly or monthly reports from legacy systems, or need to pull together dozens of dated spreadsheet files.</p>
<p><strong>Better Accuracy:</strong> Business can trust the accuracy of Coupa Spend Optimizer reporting because it is built on the foundation of the Coupa’s native eProcurement data model. Coupa automatically normalizes data upon entry and reduces errors of miscategorized spend. Additionally data is also normalized and cleansed upon import from external ERP and HR systems before entering the Coupa Spend Optimizer.</p>
<p><strong>Actionable Value:</strong> Coupa Spend Optimizer provides timely, spend-relevant information that helps users deliver a measurable impact on reducing organizational spend. Unlike common ERP systems, Coupa Spend Optimizer goes beyond generic financial reporting to alert users and suggest actions that would help the company reduce spend.  Of course, there is also the ability to drill deep into underlying information with the click of the mouse. </p>
<p>&#8220;We’re enthusiastic about Coupa Spend Analytics,” said Darrel Kalbfleisch, Director at the Archdiocese of St. Louis. “Being the largest Archdiocese in Missouri, our spending is spread over thousands of users in hundreds of different organizations. Coupa Spend Analytics provides us sophisticated, business-level reporting beyond transactional information. It’s this business intelligence that helps us make key decisions that drive more efficiency and cost reduction across our many constituencies.”</p>
<p>“We’re excited to redefine the spend analytics market with this new innovative offering. Until now, advanced spend intelligence required a great deal of lengthy manual intervention to aggregate and often did not easily get into the hands of the people that needed it most. Coupa Spend Optimizer ensures that everyone from procurement, to finance, to line of business users can have the real-time spend insights they need to improve their spend practices and drive bottom line value,” said Rob Bernshteyn, CEO, Coupa. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>New Release Includes Extended Multi-Language, Multi-Currency Support for Enterprises.</h4>
<p>SAN MATEO, Calif. – Coupa Software, the leading provider of innovative Cloud Spend Management (CSM) solutions today announced a new <a href="http://www.coupa.com/solutions/e-procurement/">e-procurement</a> and expense management software release with a rich feature set that helps companies across the globe achieve improved visibility into their spending and significantly reduce costs.  </p>
<p>Among the list of new features is support for multiple currencies and languages, including English, French, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and UK English. Because of Coupa’s exclusive cloud solution, global enterprises only need to deploy one instance worldwide regardless of language, currency, or geography.</p>
<p>In addition, the new release streamlines the expense reporting process for international business travelers. Travelers can submit their report in both local and foreign currency for better tracking. Plus Coupa automatically converts the expenses based on the current exchange rate. This saves significant hours spent manually calculating and submitting expenses reports.</p>
<p>“Getting visibility into corporate spending can be especially challenging for global organizations with a geographically dispersed workforce,” said Rob Bernshteyn, CEO, Coupa. “Coupa’s exclusive cloud architecture makes it simple and easy to use, helping companies quickly and easily implement solutions that impact the bottom line almost immediately, regardless of where they may be located. This is particularly close to Coupa right now as we’re expanding our global footprint and are using the new solution to keep our own spending in check.”</p>
<p>The enhanced platform includes additional unique capabilities:</p>
<ul>
<li>Tax Calculation Engine Support – Coupa customers can integrate their own tax engine directly into the Coupa invoicing process.  When you submit the invoice, Coupa can now &#8220;call out&#8221; to your tax engine to fetch your estimate to compare against the invoice. </li>
<li>Split Line Accounting – Coupa now enables users to intuitively assign multiple billing accounts to any particular line or transaction. These costs can be prorated at any point in the transaction &#8211; while making the Request, issuing the PO or upon receiving invoice from the supplier.	</li>
<li>Show Policies on Check Out – Coupa shows the policies relevant to purchases in-kine and upon checkout.  Coupa identifies the policies covering each requisition and displays them at the top of your Cart on the checkout page. </li>
</ul>
<p>Designed with the end-user in mind, the Coupa platform replicates the ease-of-use of leading consumer web applications today, ensuring high levels of employee adoption and a seamless on-boarding process for new employees. Continuing to deliver on Coupa’s promise of a simple, easy-to-use design, this release makes the entire Coupa platform even more extendable across the globe.   </p>
