With the investment, Episerver seeks to expand further in the U.S. through accelerated product development, go-to-market sales and marketing and branding initiatives.

The software offers businesses a single repository for all their marketing messaging, which in turn enables them to disperse information to different national and international web sites. Global retailers can use the platform to easily implement customization and personalization experiences across localized e-Commerce sites.

Insight is acquiring the stake in Episerver from another private equity firm, Accel-KKR, which created the current entity by combining Ektron and Episerver in 2015. Accel-KKR invested in both companies through separate transactions in 2014.
