And Itential offers powerful network automation software to companies worldwide, ranging from Fortune 500 telecommunications and financial service companies to enterprises of all sizes. And the company is committed to building world-class products that accelerate the move toward software-driven networks and next-generation agile network operations. The company’s solutions utilize the latest thinking, open standards, open architectures, partners, and best practices to drive network operations and maximize the impact of automation.
As a part of the investment round, Cam McMartin (one of Elsewhere Partners’ Operating Advisors) is joining the Itential board. McMartin had previously held the roles of COO and CFO at SailPoint Technologies where he steered the company towards a SaaS hybrid business model from an on-premises solution.
Elsewhere’s Operating Advisor network includes more than 100 C-Suite executives like McMartin who have collectively scaled software businesses at all stages to successful exits. And Elsewhere places these leaders on portfolio boards as part of its investments to provide tailored guidance to company leaders. Elsewhere had previously invested a $5.5 million Series A round in Itential in 2017 to accelerate the company’s existing go-to-market and product roadmap.
