History

Panaya was founded in 2006 as ChangeSoft Technologies by entrepreneur Yossi Cohen and is headquartered in Ra'anana, Israel.[3]

The disruptive technology revolves around the impact analyses of code change, applied in code comparison of Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems to help reduce the application life cycle cost.[4] A first patent application was filed in 2008, followed by an extension in 2009,[5] and a continuation in 2013.[6]

In 2010, shares of Tamares Group, a private equity investment firm based in Vaduz, Liechtenstein, were acquired by Panaya as part of fundraising round.[7]

In 2012, CGI Group, a Canadian multinational information technology (IT) consulting company, announced the launching of a new Panaya Practice.[8]

In 2013 and 2014, Panaya laid off more than 25% of the company.[9][10] In 2016, Panaya shut down their Israeli-based sales development and moved them to Boston and the United Kingdom and replaced their CEO.[11]

In June 2014, Deloitte and Panaya announced an agreement to provide Oracle E-business Suite customers the ability to reduce the cost and risk of application change projects.[12]

In February 2015, Infosys announced acquisition of Panaya for a reported $200 million.[13] Prior to the sale, Panaya was in crisis and was on the verge of shut down, after many waves of layoffs.[14]

Investors

Gemini Partners and Benchmark Capital were the first investors to fund Panaya with $5 million in April 2006.[15]

In August 2009, Panaya secured $5 million funding in a series B investment round led by Tamares Group with the participation of Benchmark Capital.[16]

In June 2010, in a series C round, Battery Ventures, Benchmark and Tamares Group, invested a further $7 million.[17] In September 2010, HPV, the venture capital fund of Hasso Plattner, co-founder of SAP AG,[18] invested $6 million in exchange for company's stakes. Shares held by the Tamares Group, a private equity investment firm based in Vaduz, Liechtenstein, were acquired by HPV together with existing investors Benchmark Capital and Battery ventures.

In 2013 the existing investors, in a series D funding round led by Battery Ventures and joined by Benchmark Capital and HPV, injected an additional $16 million into Panaya.[19] The company has raised $39 million to date.
