The advantages of software as a service, SaaSOnna Technologies is focused on developing one. On the one hand, sophisticated business applications, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM), are available to companies without the resources to purchase, deploy and manage the necessary infrastructure and software. On the other hand, it is very easy to "mobilise" staff, as users have access to both these applications and data from any computer or mobile device connected to the Internet. In addition, there is no need to bring in qualified staff to manage the security aspects of mobile computing.
One of the exponents of this technology is Onna Technologies.
We are talking about an American startup of Spanish origin based in San Francisco and Barcelona. It is dedicated to development of a SaaS tool that integrates with the main document sharing platforms (Google, Microsoft, Slack, Dropbox) and allows companies to automatically search, recognise and classify documents..
The company announced a few days ago that it has lifted $11Mled by the British venture capital fund Dawn Capitalwhose senior partner, Norman Fiore, will join Onna's board. They have also participated in the capital increase. Dropboxthe US Slack Fund and Nauta Capitalwhich was already a shareholder.
Onna Technologies will use the funds received from the financing round to expand its technological solution to cover a larger number of customers.
