Founded in 1994, Satuit Technologies, Inc. is a global leader in software solutions for the professional investment markets offering sales force automation (SFA) and client relation- ship management (CRM) solutions. Satuit's growth has been fueled by its software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering, and its strong expansion in Europe and in the Asia-Pacific region. SatuitCRM On-Demand accounts for over 90% of all new business and has won over top tier global investment managers including Pioneer Investments, RBC Global Investments, and Scottish Widows Investment Partnership.
