Uniserve Sells off Eastern Assets to Focus on Cloud Computing Launch

Uniserve Communications Corp., a Germany-based pure-play supplier of data quality solutions in Europe, announced the sale of its Eastern assets, a step expected to help the company clear its debt and focus more on serving its existing customer base optimally.

In a release Michael Schmidt, Uniserve CEO, said, “This strategic move allows Uniserve to develop and build our business to business market and focus on our Cloud Computing launch. With this transaction, Uniserve has paved the way to build our Dell (News - Alert)/Joyent Cloud Computing Solution for the business to business market in Canada.”
