Carlyle has announced its investment in Ingentis Group, a leading provider of organizational charting, design, and analytics software. The current management team will reinvest significantly and continue to lead the company, while existing investor Maguar Capital Partners exits.
Founded in 1997 in Nuremberg, Germany, Ingentis enables organizations to visualize and plan their workforce and structures, enhancing organizational effectiveness. Its products serve 2,000 customers, including many Fortune 500 and DAX-listed companies, across over 50 countries.
