DiscoverOrg, a Vancouver-based sales and marketing intelligence company, recently announced the acquisition of iProfile, a pioneer of sales intelligence for the technology industry.
According to DiscoverOrg CEO Henry Schuck, combining iProfile’s comprehensive global professional contact and sales intelligence database with DiscoverOrg’s proprietary sales intelligence and analytics reinforces his company’s commitment to being a truly global, high-quality intelligence solution.
“…this acquisition allows us to expand our global presence, which we believe will be a key differentiator in our market,” said Schuck. “The acquisition enhances the breadth and depth of the offering we are bringing B2B sales and marketing teams.”
Founded in 1993, iProfile focuses on providing a deep and accurate level of insight on companies’ IT departments. Since its inception, the Austin, Texas-based firm has built a client roster that includes many leading technology companies, such as Adobe, CSC, Dell and IBM.
“We believe that DiscoverOrg is the right home for iProfile and look forward to seeing the iProfile team contribute to the success of the combined company,” said Arun Prakash, partner at Virgo Capital, iProfile’s former majority owner. “This will provide iProfile’s customers with more data and research capabilities, maximizing the benefits to their sales and marketing operations.”
DiscoverOrg is a three-time Inc. 500 company, and has grown 675 percent since 2011. Earlier this year, the company announced it planned to hire 150 additional employees to help build out additional datasets.
