Frei­burg — Boston — Singa­pore — Jedox, an award-winning provi­der of enter­prise perfor­mance manage­ment solu­ti­ons for busi­ness plan­ning and analy­sis, today announ­ced an invest­ment of more than $100 million from global venture capi­tal and private equity firm Insight Part­ners, along with exis­ting inves­tors Iris Capi­tal, eCAPI­TAL and Wecken & Cie. This majo­rity invest­ment by Insight Part­ners comes at a time when Jedox is expe­ri­en­cing rapid global adop­tion of its market-leading cloud solu­tion for finance executives.

The new round of funding will help Jedox acce­le­rate its custo­mer growth and global expan­sion while enhan­cing its robust plat­form for cross-depar­t­­men­tal inte­gra­ted busi­ness plan­ning, report­ing and analy­tics. In parti­cu­lar, the funds will be used to grow Jedox’s product inno­va­tion team, increase invest­ment in custo­mer support, and provide even grea­ter support to users in all major geogra­phic regi­ons. In addi­tion, 2021 marks the launch of indus­­try-speci­­fic solu­ti­ons. Toge­ther with Jedox’s dyna­mic part­ner network and stra­te­gic part­ner­ships, the scope of the solu­ti­ons will expand beyond finance and control­ling depart­ments to become a cross-func­­tio­nal “Exten­ded Plan­ning & Analy­tics” (xP&A) platform.

“In an incre­asingly fast-paced world, disrup­tion and uncer­tainty present both chal­lenges and oppor­tu­ni­ties for busi­nesses. Jedox modern cloud-based solu­ti­ons for scena­rio plan­ning, fore­cas­ting and mana­ging future value crea­tion enable our custo­mers to act even faster and outper­form the compe­ti­tion,” says Florian Winter­stein, CEO of Jedox. “Insight Part­ners’ invest­ment will further streng­then our unique EPM plat­form and momen­tum in the market and allow us to bene­fit from the exper­tise of a leading global invest­ment partner.”

Jedox offers the most advan­ced cloud-based budge­ting, plan­ning and analy­sis tools combi­ned with a fami­liar Micro­soft Excel-based inter­face. Jedox’s enter­­prise-grade “Finan­cial Plan­ning & Analy­tics” (FP&A) tools are speci­fi­cally desi­gned to acce­le­rate time-to-value for CFOs and finance execu­ti­ves. From moving exis­ting finan­cial proces­ses to the cloud to lever­aging AI and “advan­ced analy­tics” for more accu­rate and agile plan­ning, Jedox helps leading compa­nies stream­line plan­ning proces­ses at all stages of growth. Jedox has over 2,500 custo­mers world­wide, inclu­ding Amazon, McDonald’s Switz­er­land and ABB.

“Jedox offers a diffe­ren­tia­ted approach to finan­cial plan­ning through its flexi­bi­lity, fami­liar Excel-based inter­face and focus on the custo­mer,” said Jeff Lieber­man, mana­ging direc­tor at Insight Part­ners. “We are exci­ted to work with Florian and the entire Jedox team to bring outstan­ding cloud plan­ning tools to market leaders in all indus­tries around the world. Our onsite team, the largest ScaleUp engine in the indus­try, will work with Jedox to provide stra­te­gic scaling exper­tise.” Rachel Geller, Mana­ging Direc­tor at Insight Part­ners, and Henry Fran­kie­vich, Prin­ci­pal, will join the Board of Directors.

Jedox’s leading EPM plat­form opti­mi­zes value crea­tion and helps compa­nies move faster than the compe­ti­tion. Jedox public and private cloud offe­rings enable finance profes­sio­nals to effec­tively colla­bo­rate across depart­ments to simplify busi­ness plan­ning through a powerful Micro­soft Excel and Power BI compa­ti­ble inter­face, while bene­fiting from arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence and advan­ced analy­tics. The tran­sac­tion is expec­ted to close in the first half of 2021.
