Gomez

Gomez helps companies monitor, manage, test and improve the performance of their web applications, resulting in a better quality web experience for their end-users.

The company delivers this through an innovative, on-demand software-as-a-service charging model which enables customers to adopt the service quickly and scale usage as their needs grow.

The company has its headquarters in Lexington, MA (USA) and regional offices in London, Toronto, Hamburg, Zurich. The company also has a software development facility and commercial office in Beijing, China.

The Doughty Hanson Technology Ventures team helped to merge WebPerform, one of its portfolio investments, with Gomez in 2003. It has invested a total of £9 million over the various stages of the company’s growth and played a pivotal role in the development of the business over the life of the investment.

In November 2009, Nasdaq listed Compuware (CPWR) completed the acquisition of Gomez for $295 million in cash. This represented a 5.1x return on investment.
