Panorama9, a web-based IT management platform,
has secured $900,000 in seed financing from private tech investors in Denmark
for continued growth and expansion in the U.S. after two years of successful
organic growth.
Panorama9 is designed for today’s IT needs, including
extensive offerings to support BYOD and mixed-OS environments. A
cleanly designed, web-based dashboard offers a comprehensive view for
IT managers, with real-time tracking and alerts on company assets,
IT availability, security vulnerabilities, non-compliant systems,
and more.
“More and more business functions are moving to the cloud,
due to its ease of use, low cost, and extremely fast ROI," said Jakob
Roed, co-founder and CEO of Enalyzer, and one of this round's
lead investors. "As an early investor in Zendesk, I see several
parallels between the two companies and the value they bring to
their customers."
Morten Stromsted, a private equity investor in
Denmark involved in Panorama9's seed round, added, "As IT teams face a
variety of challenges, from BYOD to virtual collaboration, there’s a
pressing need for better ways to manage a company’s devices,
software, security, and networks. Panorama9 is using the cloud to make
IT managers' lives easier.”
Panorama9 will use this funding to develop
additional features, focusing on platform usability and flexibility.
Additionally, they'll be expanding their U.S. sales presence in early 2013 to
accommodate strong growth and nurture an increasing number of
partnerships.
Panorama9 launched in the U.S. market in April 2012 after
successful trials in Scandinavia. New customer sign-ups in the U.S. have
been increasing on average 20% each month since launch.
