US-based data analytics provider Metanautix has been acquired by software developer Microsoft, providing an exit to human resources software producer Workday, Venturebeat has reported.
Terms of the acquisition have not been revealed.
Founded in 2012, Metanautix has developed analytics technology that enables big companies to easily access all of their data across third-party platforms, such as customer relationship management tool Salesforce, and departments.
Workday invested an undisclosed sum in Metanautix in July 2015, when the corporate launched its investment unit Workday Ventures.
Metanautix previously emerged from stealth in September 2014, revealing it had already raised $7m in series A funding from Sequoia Capital, Stanford Endowment and angel investor Shiva Shivakumar.
Microsoft will integrate the company’s technology into its SQL Server and Cortana Analytics product suite and will not continue to sell Metanautix as a separate service.
