SAP's Venture Fund has tucked $6 million in A Series money into so-called geographic business intelligence software developer Alteryx Inc to support its infrastructure build-out, go-to-market execution and possible acquisitions.

Alteryx targets Fortune 500 and mid-market companies in the automotive, retail, commercial real estate, telecommunications, cable, manufacturing and finance industries as well as government and university customers.

Its technology is delivered in desktop, server and public/private cloud computing environments.

The 14-year-old California company claims a quarter of a million users worldwide including 30% year-over-year growth and record customer acquisition in 2010.

SAP Ventures get a board seat.
