Hyland Software, the developer of the OnBase enterprise content management (ECM) software suite, has acquired Liberty Information Management Systems (Liberty IMS). The transaction was private, and terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
By acquiring Liberty IMS, Hyland says it is now able to add more than 1,000 Liberty IMS client organizations to its base of 7,200 customers; extend its reseller channel base with an established network of Liberty IMS channel partners who possess domain expertise in selling and supporting document imaging, COLD/ERM and workflow solutions; and broaden its presence in the western U.S. and central Canada by maintaining Liberty IMS' offices and an existing team of experienced ECM professionals in Costa Mesa, Calif., and Ottawa, Ontario.
‘Liberty IMS and Hyland Software share the same values,’ says Steve Lehrer, formerly chief solutions officer at Liberty IMS, who will be joining Hyland as a senior member of the product team. ‘Both companies have remained focused on developing solutions driven by customer requirements and not industry hype. Bringing our two companies together will provide our customers and partners with an even broader set of capabilities with which to drive down costs and decrease inefficiencies while improving their business processes.’
