Marlin Equity Partners buys software provider Longview Solutions
Longview Solutions Inc, a Toronto-based provider of corporate performance management and tax provisioning software, has been acquired by U.S. private equity firm Marlin Equity Partners. The seller in the undisclosed transaction was Dutch software company Exact Holding N.V., which bought Longview in 2007 for US$51.5 million. Prior to 2007, the company had been a portfolio investment of U.S. venture capital firm Edison Ventures, Canadian specialty finance firm Wellington Financial and other investors. Marlin said it plans to accelerate and strengthen Longview's product portfolio through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions.
