eFront, the leading European software provider of financial solutions for alternative assets, is pleased to announce that Ventizz Capital Partners (“Ventizz”) has selected the FrontInvest platform to support its investment operations.

Established in 2000, Ventizz is a leading private equity investor for growth capital and mid-sized technology buy-outs in the German speaking regions. A total of four funds were initiated or advised between 2000 and 2007 with €675 million of capital under management. Its investment approach focuses on strategic and operational development as well as growth opportunities. Ventizz Funds have to date invested in 41 technology-oriented high-growth companies and so far presented 18 exits, including four highly successful IPOs, delivering high returns to investors.

Ventizz needed an integrated CRM and deal flow management solution to centralize information in order to provide their users direct access to all business interactions with target companies. With the powerful deal flow management module of FrontInvest, the company can now streamline the management of its pipeline and closely track and monitor all deal opportunities.

“Within a decade, Ventizz has become a major player in German speaking countries through continuous growth and successful transactions,” commented Dr. Helmut Vorndran, Managing Partner of Ventizz Capital Partners. “We will continue our path by closing a significant number of deals in the near future. Therefore, our investment and operations advisory teams are striving to apply the best technology solutions available in the industry.”

Béatrice Vachonfrance, COO for Continental Europe at eFront, added: “We are very proud to have been chosen by such a technology-savvy organization. We believe that experienced teams such as the investment specialists of Ventizz need proven operational tools to enable them to focus on their core business: finding great companies in which to invest and actively furthering their growth. We look forward to serving our new German client in 2012.”
