SEP's backing is a huge validation. They're experienced growth equity investors with a strong track record in enterprise software. This is about scaling up with the right partner, strengthening our product and AI capabilities, and taking Enate to even more service providers globally."

With that growth comes an increasing need to manage, monitor and secure that complexity."
— Martin Buhr, CEO and co-founder
