Kainos Group plc
("Kainos" or the "Company")
Acquisition of RapidIT-Cloudbera, Inc.
Kainos Group plc (KNOS), a UK-headquartered IT provider with
expertise across three divisions - Digital Services, Workday
Services, and Workday Products, today announces the acquisition of
RapidIT-Cloudbera, Inc. ("RapidIT-Cloudbera").
Established in 2017, RapidIT-Cloudbera is the creator of Genie,
a Workday-focused automated testing product which has the ability
to rapidly auto-generate test cases, allowing customers to quickly
launch their automated testing efforts. Genie is used by over 100
organisations to streamline their testing activity.
Kainos will combine Genie with its own market-leading automated
testing product, Smart Test, which will provide customers the
ability to achieve greater compliance and quality assurance - more
quickly, with less internal effort and with increased testing
coverage. Integration of the products is due to complete during
Kainos' current financial year.
In its most recent results, Kainos re-confirmed its ambition for
the Smart products suite, which includes Smart Test. Reporting
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) of GBP49m at 31 March 2023, the
Smart products suite is forecast to achieve GBP100m ARR by
2026.
RapidIT-Cloudbera is headquartered in Atlanta, US, and has
operations in the US and India employing 101 people. The team at
RapidIT-Cloudbera will join the Kainos Workday Products
division.
The terms of the acquisition have not been disclosed.
Brendan Mooney, CEO of Kainos, commented:
"We are delighted to welcome our new colleagues from
RapidIT-Cloudbera. The skills, expertise and creativity of our
expanded team will allow us to accelerate our product development,
increasing the functionality of our existing products and allowing
us to quickly bring new products to market - it is a winning
combination."
Gopo Velagundula , CEO of RapidIT-Cloudbera commented:
"The automated testing market for Workday is growing rapidly and
by combining our two products we are creating the undisputed global
leader for automated testing. The combination also represents
fantastic news for our customers, increasing the scale and value of
what we can do to support their compliance efforts."
Malachy Smith, Workday Products Director at Kainos:
"When we launched Smart Test in 2013 we created the market for
the automated testing of Workday and it has been incredibly
exciting to be at the forefront of this market for the past ten
years. The combination of Smart Test and Genie further enhances our
position in this high growth market and allows us to look beyond
our GBP100m ARR target."
