HOUSTON, Nov. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Riversand, a leading software-as-a-service (SaaS) Master Data Management (MDM) and Product Information Management (PIM) solution provider, today announced it had received additional funding from Crestline Investors ("Crestline"), a credit-focused institutional alternative asset manager. The investment will be used to accelerate Riversand's product innovation and increase market share through global sales and marketing expansion.
The data management market is experiencing tremendous growth as companies realize the value of data as a foundational requirement for business success. Riversand's delivery of its cloud-native data management platform earlier in the year has fueled explosive growth for its cloud offerings, creating a demand for additional investment to support expansion initiatives.
Crestline brings investment expertise to the data management market, having invested in several data management opportunities over the past few years, including leading a recent investment round for Actifio and exiting its previous investment in SpringCM through a $220 million acquisition by DocuSign.
"We are excited for our continued partnership with Crestline Investors at a time when we have realized our data management vision," said Upen Varanasi, CEO and Founder of Riversand. "We will use this additional capital infusion to continue to push the envelope of product innovation, strengthen our sales and marketing efforts and accelerate growth in new geographies."
"We are committed to continuing to invest in the data management space with a specific focus on the cloud. As enterprises of all sizes continue to prioritize investments in digital transformation initiatives, we believe companies such as Riversand will be at the forefront of enabling this vision," said Will Palmer, a Managing Director at Crestline "We have been impressed with the execution at Riversand and the adoption of its product by the market. Riversand just closed a record-breaking Q3 and is moving towards capturing a bigger share of the cloud data management market. Our additional investment will support expanded growth initiatives to capture business in new markets through increased sales and marketing efforts."
