Cloud based solutions are quickly becoming the bread and butter of many corporations out there, and Adaptive Planning, the leader in Corporate Performance Management (CPM) services over the web, is providing solutions for corporations and organizations of all sizes. To that end, they announced having received a new investment of $22 million in its latest venture round from Norwest Venture Partners. This money gets added to the funds they had already secured from other venture firms such as Cardinal Venture Capital, Clairmont Capital, Monitor Ventures, and ONSET Ventures.

With this new money, Adaptive Planning is going to accelerate their growth in sales and marketing, product development, and new channels and markets, according to their pressrelease.
