Pearson completes Blueprint acquisition

Pearson Government Solutions has completed its acquisition of Blueprint Technologies in a move that will bolster its enterprise architecture services, WashingtonOnTechnology reports.

The Arlington, Virginia, company announced in mid-March that it was acquiring Blueprint Technologies, a private, female-owned, small business that specialises in architecture-based solutions. The terms of the stock transaction were not disclosed.

The success of business in the 21st century depends on the ability of IT leaders and enterprise architects to exploit service-oriented architecture (SOA), Web services, and business process management, and to anticipate how event-driven architecture (EDA), open source, advanced Web services standards, and the next-generation integration infrastructure can be exploited for business advantage tomorrow, Gartner has announced in a press release.

Two Gartner conferences - the Application Integration and Web Services Summit and the Enterprise Architecture Summit - will offer the breadth of Gartner knowledge and advice, keynotes from industry leaders, over 60 sessions, and a solutions showcase, on 19 to 21 June, and 21 to 23 June, at Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina, California.
