Infinite, Roundstone Announce Merger

Infinite Software Corporation has announced that it has acquired a controlling interest in Roundstone Systems based in Oakland. The combined organization will have over 100,000 installations in 56 countries, according to Infinite officials.

 

The Roundstone team “adds depth and knowledge of both the Bay Area market and HP servers,” says Bruce Acacio, CEO, Infinite Software.

 

Roundstone Systems sells HP Enterprise Server products and services in Northern California. “We have built our business around HP’s Enterprise servers,” says John Fournier, President, Roundstone Systems, adding that for a partner, “Infinite Software just made sense.”

 

Roundstone Systems will operate as an independent division of Infinite Software and anticipates no changes in staffing. The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

 

At the end of last year, TMC reported that Infinite Software appointed Dennis Huff as vice president of sales for its North American subsidiary, Infinite Technology Group. Huff is a former vice president of Agilysys, a reseller of HP server equipment, and he has a background building and managing a national sales force.

Acacio said at the time of Huff’s hiring that as the company “rounds out” their senior management team here in North America, “adding talent like Dennis makes perfect sense.”

 

Infinite is headquartered in Orange County, California and operates from offices in Asia, North America, South America and Europe. Its products are marketed under the brand names Infinite and LPS.

 

At the time of Huff’s appointment news reports noted that Infinite Technology Group is the HP Business Partner unit of Infinite Software. This unit has “significant growth plans in 2009 and is executing joint plans with HP,” company officials said at the time.

 

Company officials from both Infinite and Roundstone expressed optimism for the partnership in the tough economic climate of the year ahead.
