Founded in 2010 with a research and development center in Tel Aviv and corporate headquarters in San Mateo, California, Totango offers recurring revenue businesses a way to predict and lower their churn rate—the rate at which customers leave a service. The company's technology monitors customer-centric data such as frequency and pattern of use to flag potential issues with customer engagement. Totango's customers include software company Citrix Systems Inc. and computer company CA Technologies.

"Companies recognize that it's in their best interest to focus on taking care of their existing customers to drive the business forward," said Totango co-founder and CEO Guy Nirpaz in a statement. "In this hyper-competitive environment, a well thought out customer success strategy brings real and sustained competitive advantage."
