IMAP has advised GenoData EDV-Systeme GmbH, a provider of data/ process management, and business intelligence for the banking and finance sector, on its acquisition by FOCONIS AG, a portfolio company of Main Capital Partners. GenoData and FOCONIS are a natural fit due to their complementary products, customers and strategy.

Katharina Lederle, former CEO and shareholder of GenoData GmbH, is very satisfied with the transaction: “In FOCONIS, we have found the right partner for the future; not only for our products, but also for our employees and customers. I am pleased to hand over the entire leadership to Bernd Frese. I would also like to express my special thanks for the support provided by IMAP, which was outstanding both professionally and personally around the clock. A deep understanding of the market paired with a strong M&A expertise helped a lot to lead the negotiations to success.”
