Novacap Invests $4.6 M in Tenrox 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."
