Excel with SAP and insightsoftware
Founded in 2005, Excel4apps set out to develop an Excel-based ERP reporting solution that simplified the complex, slow, and often inaccurate process of creating meaningful business intelligence from enterprise reporting tools. “We built Excel4apps to help business leaders make better sense of their data, in real-time, so they could immediately solve the challenges they face,” said Chris Meyer, CEO of Excel4apps. “Joining forces with insightsoftware allows us to take our products to the next level where we can provide more value and a wider set of solutions to our customers.”
“With this acquisition, insightsoftware now has the industry’s largest base of software implementations, with 155,000 active users across 130 countries,” said Lipps. “We are well-positioned to continue our growth by offering a wider selection of complementary products across our combined solution sets. This ensures that customers can realize the benefits regardless of the size of their business, the ERP they use, or where they like to manage their reporting process.”
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. insightsoftware is a portfolio company of TA Associates.
