Global, cloud-native enterprise architecture leader Orbus Software acquires architecture solutions provider Capsifi

Orbus Software, a leading global provider of enterprise transformation software, today announced its acquisition of Capsifi, a leading provider of business architecture solutions. The transaction marks a strategic move to combine the experience and specialism of these two global SaaS leaders; to offer unparalleled capabilities for organizations trying to navigate transformation against a backdrop of increasing business and technology complexity.

Leveraging combined strengths to drive strategic innovation

Orbus’s enterprise transformation platform, OrbusInfinity, enables enterprises to generate a ‘digital blueprint’ of their organization. It allows users to visualize and take control of their IT portfolios and process landscapes and align technology investments with strategic transformation initiatives to reduce costs and risk, increase efficiency, ensure regulatory compliance, and enhance customer satisfaction. Capsifi specializes in business architecture management, providing enterprises with a strategic ‘command center’ that unifies insights across strategy, IT, and operations.

The combined offering will see Orbus integrate Capsifi’s business architecture capability into OrbusInfinity to create a comprehensive strategic enterprise transformation platform.

It will provide significant benefits for a range of stakeholders. For IT architecture teams and IT leadership, a robust business architecture capability will enable them to have strategy conversations with business stakeholders. For business architecture, strategy, and transformation teams, it will offer deep insights and an ability to influence the technologies and platforms that underpin their operations. And for executive leadership, the enriched digital blueprint will provide a comprehensive digital ‘command center’ to guide strategic transformation initiatives.

The two SaaS providers also share a joint focus on R&D investment into AI that aims to transform their customers’ ability to identify opportunities and risks and rapidly iterate enterprise scenarios. By aligning business and IT teams behind strategic objectives, Orbus and Capsifi enable organizations to adapt to ever-changing demands with agility and precision.

“We are extremely pleased to be joining forces with Capsifi. This acquisition will create the most comprehensive, cloud-native enterprise architecture (EA) platform in our market,” said Gareth Burton, CEO at Orbus Software. “Combining two leading SaaS platforms provides a considerable uplift to our business architecture offering, the ability to engage with new buyers, for example in business transformation and strategy teams, and expands the value proposition for OrbusInfinity and our customers; with an enhanced strategic lens to help enterprises ‘transform smarter’.”

“Orbus is a well-established leader with over 20 years’ experience supporting customers through their transformation initiatives,” said Ian McAdam, CEO at Capsifi. “This partnership advances our business architecture roadmap by adding powerful new features like the native iPaaS, AI, and workflow automation engine (OrbusInfinity Flow), and online diagramming (OrbusInfinity Draw).

“Together, we’re bringing our vision of the ‘enterprise command center’ to life – a comprehensive platform that connects technology with business strategy. Our combined solution will offer unmatched support for customers' transformation journeys, helping them speed up decision-making, streamline operations, and align resources with strategic goals for a fully integrated approach.”

Realizing the potential of DTOs in enterprise transformation

The acquisition further bolsters Orbus Software’s footprint as a truly global SaaS business, with approximately 300 employees working from offices in New York, London, Dubai, Sydney, Singapore and Katowice, and serving around 700 customers across more than 50 countries. Customers include Alaska Airlines, Asics, Autozone, City of Gold Coast, IMB Bank, OneAmerica Financial, The AA, Three UK, UPS, Wintrust Financial, and Zurich Cantonal Bank. Capsifi strengthens Orbus Software’s global reach with its APAC-focused expertise. Serving clients across the APAC region, the US, and Europe, Capsifi will reinforce Orbus’s extensive industry experience in key sectors, including insurance, financial services, retail and manufacturing, government, and healthcare.

Orbus’s acquisition of Capsifi also lays the foundation for a Digital Twin of the Organization (DTO) platform, which combines EA models with live business performance and operational data to facilitate a seamless flow of insights and provide a comprehensive, real-time model of the business. With it, organizations can test, refine, and adapt strategic initiatives in real time, reducing risks and improving change management.

“The acquisition of Capsifi creates a powerful synergy by aligning business strategy with IT execution, unlocking high ROI collaboration between business and IT organizations,” said John Messamore, Co-Founder of SilverTree Equity. “Capsifi is Orbus's first acquisition and marks an important step toward building the leading global Digital Twin of the Organization platform.”

DTO is a rapidly emerging technology sector which Orbus and Capsifi both see as the natural evolution of EA platforms, and which will ultimately underpin all enterprise transformation decisions. The acquisition will ultimately focus on realizing a DTO to support truly connected enterprises that understand how their organizations operationalize their business models, deploy resources, and deliver customer value.
