DENVER, CO, ST. PAUL, MN, WASHINGTON, D.C. (PRWEB) AUGUST 10, 2017

Granicus, the largest provider of cloud-based software solutions to government, today announced that it will be acquiring Novusolutions, a leading provider of legislative management software.

Novusolutions, a recognized innovator in the industry, has provided government organizations with advanced meeting automation and agenda technologies for over a decade. Combining Novusolutions with Granicus builds upon the October 2016 GovTech merger between Granicus and GovDelivery, enhancing the company’s ability to provide comprehensive and innovative legislative management solutions to clients.

“We are very excited to welcome Novusolutions to the Granicus family and are looking forward to working together to advance meeting and agenda priorities for clients around the world,” said Granicus CEO Mark Hynes. “Novusolutions has an excellent reputation as a company dedicated to client success and advancing public sector outcomes. We knew that this philosophy would be well aligned with the Granicus culture, and that together we will be in an even better position to help our government customers bring automation, efficiency, transparency and constituent engagement to their organizations.”

Together, Granicus and Novusolutions serve over 3,000 organizations in the U.S. and the U.K. With the acquisition of Novusolutions, Granicus will serve the largest client footprint for cloud-based legislative management solutions in the country.

Novusolutions’ flagship product, NovusAGENDA, provides meeting and agenda automation that streamlines the approval, tracking and distribution of meeting materials for government clients.

“Novusolutions is excited to join the Granicus team. Together, we bring our combined two decades of experience delivering automation and efficiency to government organizations, ” said Novusolutions Founder Jay Vickers. “The combination will provide our customers with additional resources and access to increased investments in innovation and world-class security.”

Organizations that use Novusolutions products will not see any immediate changes in their service or experience. Over time, Novusolutions customers will benefit from additional resources and a dedicated commitment to future innovation, product acceleration and efficiency enhancements to legislative management.

Certain statements about K1 Investment Management LLC (“K1”) made by portfolio company executives herein are intended to illustrate K1's business relationship with such persons, including with respect to K1's facilities as a business partner, rather than K1's capabilities or expertise with respect to investment advisory services. Portfolio company executives were not compensated in connection with their participation, although they generally receive compensation and investment opportunities in connection with their portfolio company roles, and in certain cases are also owners of portfolio company securities and/or investors in K1-sponsored vehicles. Such compensation and investments subject participants to potential conflicts of interest in making the statements herein. For K1, “carbon neutral” means that any greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions derived from a defined scope of K1’s activities are balanced by an equivalent amount removed, including through our purchase of carbon credits. In this report, our “carbon neutral” status is based on our GHG emissions footprint calculated in accordance with the GHG Protocol as of December 31st, 2023 (comprising Scope 2 Electricity and Gas usage and certain Scope 3 categories: Business Travel and Employee Commuting), amounting to an estimated 3,497 metric tons CO2e. K1 then purchased and applied carbon credits in 2024, amounting to an estimated 6,994 metric tons of CO2e. We engaged a third party to assist with the calculation of K1’s estimated GHG emissions for 2023, but we did not obtain independent, third-party verification of our “carbon neutral” status. To address our 2023 emissions, we contributed to the Conservación y Captura de Carbono / Conservation and Carbon Capture (CO2LTZINGO) reforestation carbon removal project in Coltzingo, Mexico (CAR 1464). This project was certified by the Climate Action Reserve (CAR), using the Protocolo Forestal para México (PFM) Versión 1.5 / Mexico Forest Protocol Version 1.5 and the Guía de Cuantificación de Acervos de Carbono y Monitoreo del Proyecto Versión 1.5 / Project Monitoring and Carbon Stock Quantification Guidance Version 1.5 with a validation date of January 15th, 2019.
