With this strategic acquisition, KNEIP renews its commitment to being the technology leader in its industry. This acquisition brings significant technology expertise in-house, with microservices architecture and multi-tenant cloud computing, which will increase service quality and data accuracy, as well as will drive process automation across its portfolio. With Dataglide technology, KNEIP is ready to launch new products, innovate, and consolidate. Asset managers rely more than ever on accurate and efficient data management, and KNEIP’s new technology platform will support them better. It will in turn be a key tool to accelerate the growth of the business.

Dataglide has been working with KNEIP for more than a year to build its next generation fund data management system. The acquisition is highly complementary to KNEIP’s existing technology and will make its current infrastructure highly scalable and even more secure. It will also allow KNEIP to deliver working software more frequently and bring more value to clients faster.

Enrique Sacau, CEO of KNEIP, commented: “We are delighted to bring Dataglide’s capability and its team into KNEIP to accelerate our plans for growth. Our goal is to help firms control their data, lower their operational and compliance risk, and ultimately inform their business strategy. This acquisition contributes to future-proof our business, as it takes our technology to the next level and deepens our capability to deliver innovative solutions and services to our clients.”
