Early History

edit

Aprimo was founded in Indianapolis in 1998 by former executives of Software Artistry, which had recently been purchased by IBM.[4] There are suggestions it was the first supplier of Marketing resource management (MRM) software, it is certainly the case that it was one of the earliest providers.[5][6] In 2004, it made its first acquisition, buying British software developer Then.[7] The following year, 2005, saw Aprimo acquire the EMS business of DoubleClick together with about 70 customers before the remainder of that organisation went to Hellman & Friedman.[8] By 2007, Aprimo had about 250 employees and its clients included Bank of America, Nestlé, Warner Bros., and Toyota.[4][7]

In 2011 the company was acquired by Teradata in a $525 million transaction.[9][10][11][12]

Marlin

edit

Teradata sold Aprimo in 2016 to Marlin Equity Partners for $90 million which merged it with Revenew and relocated its headquarters to Chicago.[1][13] In 2017, Aprimo acquired Belgian company ADAM Software.[14][15]

The company's products include Digital Asset Management, software for managing videos, images, documents, and other assets; Productivity Management, software for managing ideas, plans, and production workflows; Plan & Spend, a budget planning system; Distributed Marketing, which coordinates marketing activities; and Campaign, a system that offers automated marketing data segmentation.[16][17]

In 2017, according to the company, it moved its products to SaaS-based systems running on the Microsoft Azure cloud computing service.[16][18]
