Orbus Software Reveals Strategic Growth Investment From FTV Capital And SilverTree Equity

By Amit Chowdhry • Dec 17, 2024

Orbus Software, a global market-leading SaaS enterprise transformation software provider, announced a significant growth equity investment from FTV Capital. FTV is investing alongside co-control partner SilverTree Equity, a London-based software specialist investor that has supported Orbus since its investment in December 2020. The funding will fuel Orbus’s continued expansion into the United States and other high-growth markets, enable further penetration into regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, government, and others, and enhance the platform’s technology and AI capabilities.

Orbus’s enterprise architecture platform enables IT and business leaders to capture, store, and visualize complex IT landscapes to support strategic IT investment and decision-making. This digital blueprint empowers Orbus’s growing customer base to better manage digital transformation initiatives, reduce costs and risk, increase efficiency, ensure regulatory compliance, and enhance customer satisfaction.

Orbus differentiates itself by combining out-of-the-box functionality, enabling users to leverage leading industry frameworks, with a personalized platform that provides a full suite of digital transformation use cases and reporting capabilities. It recently released OrbusInfinity Flow, a unique integration platform as a service, which allows customers to build custom integrations and workflows effortlessly, and OrbusInfinity Draw, a flexible online diagramming capability native to the OrbusInfinity platform, which will enable customers to visualize and optimize complex systems and processes.

Orbus serves a multi-billion-dollar market opportunity, benefiting from significant untapped penetration among global enterprises. The company continues to deliver consistent and substantial revenue growth, attractive unit economics, and best-in-class customer retention. And notable customers on its OrbusInfinity platform include UPS, AutoZone, OneAmerica Financial, Alaska Airlines, Asics, The AA, Three UK, City of Gold Coast, and IMB Bank.

Orbus also recently acquired Capsifi, a leading provider of business architecture software based in Sydney. This move will enhance the company’s strategic planning and business operating model design capabilities, leading to significant cross-sell potential and strengthening its APAC market position.

The deal is subject to customary conditions and approvals. And financial terms were not disclosed.
