Growth data is pointing toward a tech recovery. Q423 was a continuation of the trend from Q323, where ARR growth rates began to stabilize. While things are headed in the right direction, we're not expecting a rapid snapback to hyper growth.

Key findings:
📈 Median ARR growth rate was 23%, a 3% increase over Q323. This continues the trend of higher ARR growth rates started in Q323
📈 Top-decile ARR growth rate was 130%, a healthy bump over Q323’s reported top decile growth rate of 109%
📈 Net New ARR median plan attainment was 70%, significantly higher than the 42% achieved in Q323
