FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Innoprise Software, Inc.™
Receives $4.0 million Equity Funding from ArrowPath Venture Partners
ORLANDO, FL and BEND, OR., April 27, 2004 - Innoprise
Software, Inc., an enterprise software company providing solutions
for the utility and local government markets, today announced that
it has closed a $4.0 million Series A round of financing. The lead
investor of this round was ArrowPath Venture Partners of Menlo Park,
CA.
“Most utilities and government agencies are running monolithic
legacy systems that were designed and implemented many years ago,"
said Tom Bevilacqua, managing partner at ArrowPath Venture Partners.
"Not only are these legacy systems costly and difficult to
modify and maintain, but in many cases they pose a severe risk to
the entity's ability to meet its business objectives. Innoprise
Software has developed a product suite that delivers significant
cost efficiencies and enhanced capabilities to its customers. The
company will use the proceeds of its Series A funding to bring this
product suite to market."
"We are excited to have the support of ArrowPath," said
Dennis Harward, founder and CEO of Innoprise Software, Inc. "In
working with our customers in the development process, Innoprise
Software has developed an enterprise software product suite based
on an open architecture using J2EE. We will begin deploying our
legacy-free, browser-based applications at client sites in May.
Innoprise is now well-funded to carry out our software development
and marketing initiatives to meet the demands of utilities and government
agencies who are seeking solutions that address the shortcomings
of existing systems in the market today."
Innoprise is led by CEO Dennis Harward, who is the former CEO and
founder of H.T.E. Systems. As a result of the financing, both Tom
Bevilacqua, managing partner at ArrowPath Venture Partners and Rob
McIntosh, principal at ArrowPath Venture Partners, will join Innoprise’s
Board of Directors.
