Novacap Invests $4.6 M in Tenrox
Pasadena, California – October 31, 2005
Tenrox, the Integrated Operational Control and Compliance Software Company,
today announced a $4.6 million investment from Novacap - a leading private
equity and venture capital firm. With this funding, Tenrox will continue to
accelerate its growth by investing more in software delivered as a service,
opening new sales and service offices in the U.S. and overseas, and making
additional investments in research and development.
According to Rudolf Melik, CEO of Tenrox, there are increasingly mounting
pressures on organizations to account for and track projects and business
processes not only in terms of profitability and efficiency, but also to address
regulatory requirements such as Sarbanes-Oxley (Bill 198 in Canada), and other
regulations.
"The project and workforce management industry is a fast growing industry, and
Tenrox is without a doubt the fastest growing player in this market in North
America," said Alain Belanger, Vice President of Novacap." After meeting the
Tenrox management team and taking a closer look at the company’s product
offering, we were very impressed by what we saw. Tenrox has a clear focus, a
valuable, high potential customer base, and a solid well-rounded product. The
growth challenge for Tenrox is to increase its sales and marketing efforts to
continue expanding and supporting its growing Fortune 1000 customer base."
"Novacap is an ideal business and financial partner to help Tenrox provide better
solutions for its customers," said Rudolf Melik, CEO of Tenrox. "The financial
resources provided by Novacap serve as a major vote of confidence in Tenrox’s
business plan, our management team and our progress to date. We will use all of
our resources to make sure our customers truly benefit from the investments they
make in Tenrox."
Managed by the same executive team since its inception, Tenrox has over the
past 10 years demonstrated consistent profitability with an average revenue
growth rate of 40% per year. Over the years, Tenrox has been recognized with
many corporate awards and industry accolades by such organizations as Deloitte
& Touche, Ernst & Young, Profit 100, Microsoft and Branham Group. The
Company’s cutting-edge software has also received numerous product awards
by industry-leading publications such as VARBusiness, CRN Magazine,
ComputerWorld, CPA Technology, Channel Business and more.
