Enterpulse Acquires SBI.Enteris
Acquisition to Enhance Strategic Offerings, Expand National Presence
Atlanta, GA (April 24, 2006) - Enterpulse, the software and services company focused on developing enterprise portal, content management and service infrastructure solutions, today announced its acquisition of SBI.Enteris, the company that helps organizations improve their bottom line by streamlining business processes and gaining more value from their supporting technologies. SBI.Enteris is the technology and business process consulting arm of what was formerly SBI Group, which acquired companies such as Scient, Razorfish, MarchFirst, and Lante to create one of the top interactive agencies in the U.S.
The acquisition will greatly enhance Enterpulse's ability to provide world-class business consulting services to augment its deep expertise in system integration. SBI.Enteris's focus on Corporate Performance Management (CPM) and business process optimization is a strategic fit with Enterpulse's portal and service infrastructure development skillsets. "This new combination of industry experience, business skills, and technical expertise will enable Enterpulse to provide clients with even greater value," said Jim Serafin, formerly CEO of SBI.Enteris and now the Chief Operating Officer of the combined companies. "Joining our teams in this way will allow us to bring a fresh perspective that will ultimately provide competitive advantages for our clients."
Over the years, Enterpulse has honed its portal delivery capabilities and the skills of its solution developers and architects. As a partner with industry-leading software providers, Enterpulse also leverages in-depth product knowledge to support our clients. Enterpulse is a partner with companies such as Interwoven and Sun Microsystems, and provides national coverage as a BEA Systems premier partner. This technology focus has enabled Enterpulse to leverage new frameworks such as Service Oriented Architecture to promote cost savings for clients, as well as develop its own intranet and extranet software product, EnterConnect®-the asset management and collaboration tool for enterprise workforce efficiency. Now, with the complementary skillsets of SBI.Enteris, Enterpulse can provide clients with a full lifecycle offering-from concept to delivery.
"We're excited by this acquisition, and view it as a great match for our companies both in culture and opportunity," said Sam Jankovich, President and Chief Revenue Officer of Enterpulse. "By adding the SBI.Enteris front-end business focus to our technical depth, we can drive even more value for our joint clients by identifying revenue-enhancing products and solutions."
Another benefit of the acquisition is Enterpulse's ability to enhance its national presence to better serve its customers. Enterpulse will add SBI's offices in Dallas and New Jersey-enabling the company to have a presence in every major market in the country. Additionally, retaining SBI's employee base will double the size of Enterpulse to more than 200 employees. This expansion will allow the company to scale to meet the ever-growing needs of its joint customer base, which includes the nation's largest wireless and telecommunications companies; global manufacturing companies; and leading financial services providers.
