BV Investment Partners, a middle-market private equity firm focused on the tech-enabled business services, software and IT services sectors, announced today the sale of CivicPlus®, a market-leading provider of integrated software solutions for local governments, to Insight Partners.
CivicPlus is the pioneering innovator in the new field of Civic Experience, which enables local governments to deliver consistently optimized interactions between citizens and local governments across every department and every service. With the company’s solutions, local governments drive more revenue, operate more efficiently, and take citizen satisfaction to new heights.
