Daptiv acquisition to aid expansion
Seattle-based Daptiv, a provider of project portfolio management software has acquired an Australian project portfolio management firm, Bluenova, says North West Innovation.
Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. According to Daptiv, the acquisition will increase its revenue by roughly 10%, and help it capitalise on opportunities in the Asia Pacific region. Daptiv says it will hire Bluenova's staff as full time employees, and retain the existing offices in Sydney and Brisbane, with a plan to open a new office in Melbourne.
Daptiv is also tapping Bluenova's executive staff to head its Asia Pacific operations, applying Bluenova's Charl Morkel to director of Daptiv Asia Pacific.
