Swiss based ICT company Jahia completed a $22.5 million round of financing

Jahia is an open source User Experience Management (UXP) solutions vendor, working at transforming a siloed industry into a user-driven one, beyond technology constraints. The UXP market stems from the needs of major organizations to offer customers unified digital interfaces that interact with their applications (business, marketing, CRM, web, mobile, social, etc…). Jahia’s journey has been impressive from a vision and technology standpoint. Both allowed the previously bootstrapped Swiss company to support the digital strategies of large and demanding organizations such as the European Parliament, Samsung, Sodexo, Europcar, Abercrombie & Fitch, or HomeAway over the past years.

Invus, the investor behind some of the most successful industry disruptions, will bring a strong support to the company management to turn the technology excellence of Jahia into a global leader in the rising UXP market.

The proceeds of this round will allow Jahia to:

• Develop its visibility through targeted marketing operations
• Accelerate its distribution strategy and partnerships
• Strengthens its presence in several countries, especially in North America and Europe, for better coverage of business needs.
• At least double its global workforce by 2015, including by fleshing out its sales teams and technical expertise.

“Jahia fits perfectly well with our motto: Equity investors in companies who seek to transform their industries. Not only do they have an incredibly strong technology and the proven ability to deliver complex yet versatile solutions to the most demanding organizations, but the vision of their management is - and has always been - firmly rooted into the will to transform a siloed industry into a user-driven one, beyond technology constraints”, comments Raymond Debbane, CEO and President of Invus.

Elie Auvray, CEO and President of Jahia Solutions Group, adds: “We are incredibly proud and honored to see Invus’ strong commitment and acknowledgement of our vision, our customers successes and our ambitions. This funding will allow us to reach our objective: to make our UXP solution the obvious choice for the Digital challenges of the modern Enterprise.”
