Norsk Data A/S plans to put Humpty together again: the Norwegian former minimaker on Friday staged a three-way merger with two companies that were spun off during its near-death experience, to create a new Comma Data Service A/S that combines the present Comma Data Services A/S, Norsk Data A/S and Nordic Data A/S under common management, and also takes the ND ServiceTeam UK Ltd arm of Nordic Data. The combination will have annual turnover of some $107m. Comma was in turn spun off from Norsk Data as part of the broad restructuring in 1991; it was prevously known as ND Service Team A/S. Comma Norge will be the largest unit in the combination, contributing some 50% of turnover to a group that will encompass service, facilities management and maintenance, installation and network services. Comma Data Service will employ 800 at 50 offices in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, England, Ireland and the US.
