Simplus has acquired its seventh Salesforce partner -- namely, UK-based Clout Partners. Financial terms of the deal were not released.
Simplus of Salt Lake City, Utah, is backed by Kensington-SV Global Innovations (KSV) and several other investors. The Clout deal provides Simplus with a deeper footprint in the European market.
Clout is headquartered in London, with a branch office in Dublin, Ireland. The acquired business has 15 employees, and experience with Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Salesforce CPQ, and Conga.
