Apperian, which describes itself as a mobile application management company, closed a US$12.4 million venture financing round, which it said will enable it to meet market demand in North America and Europe.

The company said that its EASE (Enterprise App Service Environment) technology gives businesses the ability to create secure apps that can be distributed, updated, managed and provisioned across an organisation. It runs in the cloud, enabling enterprises to deploy apps without needing to manage infrastructure, and an SDK and app templates allow the creation of software in “hours, not weeks.”

Apperian said that since its first round in March 2011, it has seen “explosive revenue growth,” fuelled by the move toward “bring your own device” in the enterprise. It has opened offices in France and the UK, as well as expanding its presence in Boston’s Innovation District, to support its growth.

The current investment comes from North Bridge Partners, Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Buyers’ iFund, Bessemer Venture Partners and Common Angels – all existing investors. Total funding has now reached US$24 million.
