| Dell Completes Acquisition of ASAP Software Dell has completed the acquisition of ASAP Software, a software solutions and licensing services provider and a former subsidiary of Corporate Express. The purchase price was approximately $340 million. The two companies will be combining to develop and implement customer-focused solutions designed to make technology more efficient, manageable and flexible. The acquisition of ASAP extends Dell's long-term initiative to simplify IT for customers by removing cost and complexity. In recent months, the company has announced several other initiatives to support IT simplification, including Dell On-Demand Desktop Streaming, which provides tighter security, easier manageability and better reliability in desktop environments, and Unified Communications, which helps customers reduce complexity and improve their productivity with myriad communications options. Dell's Data Center Solutions Division is addressing the unique needs of hyper-scale data centers for customers whose businesses rely on enterprise computing solutions. Additionally, Dell's recent acquisition of SilverBack Technologies, a service delivery platform provider, and announced plan to acquire EqualLogic, a provider of iSCSI storage area network solutions, further underscore Dell's commitment to simplify IT. ASAP provides products and services to help corporations and government agencies evaluate, acquire, and manage IT assets. Its subsidiary, License Technologies Group, specializes in licensing and e-commerce services for software publishers and their partners. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
