About Aurea Software

Aurea Software provides a comprehensive library of enterprise software solutions through a unique subscription model dubbed "Aurea Unlimited," which functions similarly to a 'Netflix for business software'. This model grants clients access to the company's entire portfolio for a single annual fee, aiming to accelerate digital transformation by removing traditional budget constraints on technology adoption. Founded in 2012 by Scott Brighton, Aurea was launched with the acquisition of four businesses from Progress Software. The company is headquartered in Austin, Texas, and is a part of the ESW Capital Group, one of the largest privately held software operators.

Under the leadership of former CEO Scott Brighton, who has a background in computer engineering and an MBA, Aurea grew through an aggressive acquisition strategy, integrating over 17 enterprise software companies since its inception. This strategy significantly expanded its portfolio, which grew from four core products to nearly three dozen. Notable acquisitions include Jive for enterprise collaboration, XANT (formerly InsideSales.com) for AI-powered sales engagement, and BroadVision for complex document management. As of early 2026, Kathy Slowinski serves as the CEO, bringing experience in scaling SaaS businesses and a focus on practical AI applications.

Aurea's business model is centered on a single subscription that provides access to all its cloud-based, enterprise-scale products. This "all you can eat" approach is designed to help businesses innovate with less risk and simplify IT management. The company serves over 4,000 clients across various sectors, including retail, insurance, energy, and life sciences. Its product library covers a wide range of functions such as Customer Relationship Management (Aurea CRM), AI-powered sales and marketing automation (Infer, XANT), enterprise integration (Aurea Messenger), and collaboration (Jive). The firm emphasizes improving product quality and dependability post-acquisition to deliver tangible business outcomes for its clients.
