The Israeli-founded company is considered the market leader in software for the oil and gas exploration industry.

Europe’s Apax Partners and JMI Equity of the US will pay some $1 billion for the Israeli-founded Paradigm Geophysical developer of software for the oil and gas exploration industry.

“It is exciting for Paradigm to team up with Apax and JMI, With their backing, Paradigm is ready to further accelerate its top line and market share growth and capitalize on the opportunities its market position and leading technologies present,” said Eldad Weiss, Chief Executive Officer of Paradigm.

The ExScite Eldad Weiss founded the company in Herzliya in 1987. In 2002, Fox Paine paid $100 million for the software vendor.

Paradigm’s software solutions are leaders in the marketplace. Its software enables engineers to optimize drilling and production decisions through the analysis of vast quantities of seismic and well-log data, spanning the entire spectrum of the exploration and production lifecycle from basin evaluation through to development and production.

“Paradigm has invested considerable time and money in developing market-leading intellectual property, and employs many of the leading scientists and software engineers in the sector. As such, it is well-placed to benefit from strong tailwinds in the coming years as energy companies look to drill in more challenging locations,” said Ian Jones, a senior Partner at Apax and head of the Energy team. “The software it provides is the best in the market, leading to strong, established relationships with its customers and underpinning an attractive business model.”

Israeli volume measurement innovator APM (APM Automation Solutions Ltd.) -
home to several Scitex veterans

APM’s patented level and volume measurement technology is being applied to a broad spectrum of industries – food and beverages, power, plastics, chemicals, aggregates and cement, metals – where effective production management, process and inventory control are important bottom-line considerations. Scitex veterans hold key management positions with the company, including Uzi Ish-Hurwitz who has been the firm’s active Chairman from the very beginning, CFO Yossi Rahima and Executive Sales Director EMEA Mordi Perl. Founded in 2005 by Mordi’s son, APM CEO Ofir Perl and CTO Yossi Zlotnick, the company introduced its flagship product, the 3DLevelScanner™, in 2007. This milestone represented a new approach to accurately measuring the volume of bulk solid materials stored inside silos, open bins and large warehouses while providing 3D mapping of the surface of the contents. APM’s offerings include inventory-savings solutions for a range of industrial applications across multiple sites that meet the needs of corporate as well production managers. APM products are sold and supported by a network of distributors in Europe, the United States, Asia Pacific and elsewhere.
Other connections to Scitex include Board member Eli Davidai, APM’s Regional Sales Manager Adi Goldman (son of Scitex’s Yaron Goldman), and consultants Dan Zetland (marcom services), Dana Kontes (human resources) and Shelagh Hammer (marketing). APM’s VP Business Development Eyal Cohen worked part-time at Scitex while he was a student, and Scitex vet Israel Amir managed the mechanical design team at ARAN for the first model of the 3DLevelScanner.

The Tel Aviv based APM Solutions  http://apm-solutions.com/ is a manufacturer and expert in level and volume measurement instrumentation. Its flagship product, the 3DLevelScanner, represents a new family of devices that takes the guesswork out of measuring the level, volume and mass of materials stored inside a silo or open bin.
The 3DLevel Scanner employs an array of three antennas to transmit low frequency pulses and to receive echoes of the pulses from the contents of the silo, bin or other container. Using three antennas the unit measures not only the time/distance of each echo but also its direction. The device's Digital Signal Processor samples and analyzes the received signals to provide very accurate measurements of the level, volume and mass of the stored contents and generates a 3D representation of actual allocation of product within the container for display on remote computer screens
