Condeco and iOffice + SpaceIQ announce merger

Investment firm Thoma Bravo has announced the merger of Condeco, a provider of workspace scheduling software with workplace and asset management firm iOffice + SpaceIQ to create a new business called Eptura. The firm claims that the “strategic combination creates a global worktech leader that provides software solutions to power the modern workplace”. The merger follows previously announced investments in Condeco and iOffice + SpaceIQ by Thoma Bravo and JMI Equity, who will remain the primary investors in Eptura. Terms of the transaction have not been disclosed.

“The modern workplace is rapidly evolving, and businesses are demanding new worktech solutions that make adapting to the future of work easier for everyone,” the firm claims. “With a total addressable market of £22 billion, Eptura’s combined solutions bring the collective knowledge, depth of experience and comprehensive portfolio of more than nine products together to meet the challenges of the global workplace with a unified technology experience. Eptura’s solutions can be easily integrated into any workplace and offer an extended ecosystem of partnerships – providing the most adaptable solution.”

The combined company’s new brand reflects its unique ability to strategically respond to the dynamic needs of the modern employer and hybrid workplace. Eptura™ stands for ‘the epicentre of the future at work’, underscoring the company’s ability to accelerate the development of new worktech solutions and enhance the user experience.

Brandon Holden, CEO of iOffice + SpaceIQ, will serve as CEO of Eptura. Paul Statham, Founder & CEO of Condeco, joins Eptura’s board of directors and will continue working with Thoma Bravo. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, and with large regional offices in London, UK, and Melbourne, Australia, Eptura has over 1,000 employees across the globe, 16.3 million users and a customer base spanning more than 16,000 of the world’s leading companies.
