Salesforce.com Inc. has purchased app performance management vendor Twin Prime, marking the latest of several acquisitions by the web-based customer relationship management technology vendor.

Twin Prime announced its acquisition in a blog post on its website. The purchase price was not disclosed.

“We built Twin Prime with our outstanding team, bringing together mobile, networking and data science expertise,” Kartik Chandrayana, Twin Prime CEO and co-founder, writes in the short blog post on the Twin Prime website. “The result was a solution that leverages machine learning techniques to analyze real-time network data, identify and prioritize performance gaps in mobile apps, and then optimize mobile performance so companies can deliver content faster to any location, device and network. In collaboration with our customers and partners, we’ve been able to help solve mobile performance problems across almost every network and geography in the world.”

Twin Prime raised $9.5 million in December 2015.

Salesforce earlier this year purchased e-commerce platform and technology provider Demandware Inc. for $2.8 billion. As a result of that purchase, Salesforce in September launched an e-commerce platform offering it calls Commerce Cloud to go with its customer relationship management software.

Salesforce also earlier this year acquired Steelbrick, which provides technology that lets businesses quote prices based on custom configurations.

Salesforce declined to comment on the purchase.
