"This acquisition is the next logical step in our evolution," says Nick Rowley, CEO of Oceanus.
Oceanus UK describes itself as a provider of software solutions and services for customer acquisition and customer service environments, while Australian-based Erilis offers design and delivery services for IBM FileNet P8 solutions.
The UK-based firm will now offer existing customers IBM FileNet support and system delivery across Asia Pacific as well as develop new international business in the region, according to the company.
Nick Rowley, CEO of Oceanus, explained, “It has always been a deliberate and strategic goal for us to expand our global foot print so we are delighted to announce the acquisition of Erilis in Australia.”
Rowley said that Erilis’ capabilities fit well with Oceanus UK’s offerings and will “enable us to develop extensive business potential in the Asia Pacific region.”
He continued, “We have committed significant resources and investment to the development of our technology and skill base which has opened up many opportunities for us to form tactical alliances with key technology partners. This acquisition is the next logical step in our evolution.”
According to Gartner's Magic Quadrant for ECM, the market is expected to grow, with predictions exceeding $5.1 billion in worldwide software license revenue by 2013.
