ClickSoftware History, Leadership, Ownership
Francisco Partners acquired ClickSoftware for $438 million and took the company private in April 2015. At the time, Moshe BenBassat was CEO of ClickSoftware. That title at some point transitioned to Tom Heiser, who led the company from October 2015 to September 2017, according to his LinkedIn profile.

"There's never been a better time to be at the center of the industry helping service organizations take advantage of the next great wave of cloud-based intelligent automation. I'm confident that my previous experience leading other successful companies will allow me to foster this unique opportunity. I could not be more excited and fortunate to join ClickSoftware and to have the opportunity to join the field service market leader."
