ERP maker Unit4 is acquiring Napta, a resource and skills management company with more than 115 customers, diginomica reported.

ERP LEADERS news desk · · First reported by diginomica · Edition no. 62

The news emerged this week at an analyst briefing day in Chicago, according to the publication.

Napta develops resource management software, which decides which consultant works on which project and is part of professional services automation (PSA). The startup targeted consulting, audit, IT services and engineering firms, diginomica reported.

The deal brings several blue-chip consulting firms to the buyer, which has more than 3,900 customers of its own, according to the report. Diginomica noted the software matches professionals to projects while attempting to optimize staff schedules and financial goals.

Deal details were not disclosed because the buyer is privately held, diginomica reported. The publication noted the commercial integration is unproven, questioning how well Unit4 can sell additional products to those accounts.

The report gives no price and no closing date, and names none of Napta's clients beyond calling several of them blue-chip firms.
