FTVentures leads investment in Business Service Management company

MCLEAN, VA – Managed Objects, a Business Service Management company, today announced that it has secured $13 million in private placement financing. The placement was led by Financial Technology Ventures (FTVentures), a firm focusing on mid- to late-stage companies that develop technologies that benefit the financial services industry.

Managed Objects is the developer of Formula software, the leading Business Service Management platform for Global 2000 companies in a wide range of markets, including the financial services industry. Customers include Dell Computer Corporation, Fidelity Investments, Merrill Lynch and Reuters. This is Managed Objects’ final round of private funding.

“FTVentures invests in companies that combine superior technology with a sound business approach,” explains Richard Garman, a managing member of FTVentures who now sits on Managed Objects’ board of directors. “In Managed Objects, we saw a first class product, an impressive Global 2000 client list and a management team guided by a long-term business perspective. Managed Objects’ software enables customers to truly leverage the massive investments they have made in their IT infrastructures by correlating IT data to business metrics and services in real-time.”

Managed Objects’ revenue more than tripled in 2001, powered by a customer base that doubled in size. Siki Giunta, Managed Objects’ president and chief executive officer, notes, “In the past year, the technology industry has seen valuations drop and venture capital dollars dwindle. Yet our placement was oversubscribed, and our valuation was comparable to what it was in our last round of financing. Along with our strong revenue growth, this speaks to the need for our software and our role as a leader in the Business Service Management market. The funding will fuel our ongoing success and leave us well-positioned to achieve profitability.”

Other firms that participated in Managed Objects’ private placement include JMI Equity Fund, Lazard Technology Partners and Fidelity Ventures.
