Ashu Roy, eGain CEO, commented, “We are pleased to report solid sequential growth in SaaS and recurring revenue in our first quarter since completing our transition to a recurring revenue business model. We continue to gain market share with our industry leading customer engagement solutions and look forward to continued SaaS and recurring revenue growth, as well as generating operating cash in fiscal 2018.”

eGain says the decrease was primarily due to the expected decline in perpetual license revenue from $14.5 million in fiscal 2016 to $4.6 million in fiscal 2017, reflecting the company’s successful completion of its transition to a recurring revenue business model.

Moving forward, eGain is primarily focused on its SaaS growth to provide better and innovative cloud service to its consumers, said Roy in the conference call.
