Top Mobile Development Companies Add Flurry Analytics to Solutions for Key Clients

San Francisco – June 26, 2009 – Flurry, the leading cross-platform mobile application analytics provider, today announced the establishment of a channel partner program. The company’s partners are focused on driving implementation of Flurry’s award-winning analytics services within the rapidly growing mobile applications market. Inaugural companies joining Flurry’s Partner Program include Atimi, Five Mobile, and MobileCDN.

Flurry’s Partner Program provides contracted software development firms the unparalleled ability to communicate performance and usage insights to their clients. With Flurry analytics data, development companies can monitor, identify and assess future development opportunities to grow a client’s mobile application business. Flurry offers channel partner revenue share possibilities, technical support and joint marketing.

“Our channel program is a win-win for mobile development companies and the clients for whom they build mobile applications,” said Sean Galligan, Flurry vice president of business development. “Gaining insight into exactly how consumers use their iPhone, Android and BlackBerry applications provides established brands with a competitive advantage on new platforms, while providing contracted developers the ability to adjust, improve and report performance for their clients.”

With over 9,000 developers already signed up for its free analytics service since launching in January of this year, and over 40 million reporting agents, Flurry Analytics is fast becoming the standard in mobile application analytics. Each week Flurry tracks detailed application usage on over eight million consumers’ handsets across iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and JavaME. As major media, video game and web services companies rush to establish a presence in the exploding smart phone application market, the need to turn to third party developer support as well as measure their performance has never been greater.

“Flurry Analytics has become a standard part of our proposal to household media brands approaching Atimi to build winning iPhone applications,” said Scott Michaels, vice president at Atimi Software Inc. “Flurry Analytics enables Atimi to gather much needed, highly relevant feedback to make rapid improvements to applications and increase success for our clients. Furthermore, our clients can leverage Flurry usage statistics alongside other campaigns for comparison, providing valuable insight to support their most critical decisions.”

Simon Jeffery has a pretty good resume with stints at LucasArts, Virgin Interactive, and Electronic Arts and over 22 years experience. Most recently he has been president and COO of Sega of America.

“It’s a very exciting time to be shaping a new games landscape with a super-talented team.  With Plus+ Publishing we are going to be able to create a system for great developers to plug directly into an incredible, proven publishing framework & network technology to help accelerate their games.” Jeffery said.

The Plus+Network (is that pronounced plus plus network? plus and network? or just plus network?) which is a robust community gaming platform will be rolling out later this year. We don’t know full details yet, what we do know is that it will directly compete with CGPs such as OpenFeint.

Ngmoco’s community gaming platform will include all of the features you would expect:

Single profile across all games in the network
Friends / Followers
Leaderboards
Metascore (ala XBox gamer score)
Challenges (which we’ve seen in the recently launched Star Defense)
Achievements / Awards
Cross Promotion

We’ll see the Plus+Network roll out first on some ngmoco games such as Rolando 2, Star Defense, and the as yet un-named first person shooter code-named Livefire.

No requirements or payment arrangements are yet known for third parties interested in the platform. We’ll learn more over the summer as ngmoco games utilizing the platform start to roll out.

Initially, the network won’t integrate with Facebook, but that feature is planned with integration via Facebook Connect.

We’ll have more for you as soon as we get it. For now, if you are a developer and interested in more info, send an email to gamemakers@ngmoco.com.
