The investment money came from SAP's $125 million NetWeaver Fund established in May. SAP has said each investment would typically be no more than $5 million. Visiprise is the third investment for the fund.

SAP made its first investment in August, in Questra, which makes software for intelligent device management. Last month it invested in ArisGlobal Holdings, which makes software for the pharmaceutical industry.
