London-based workflow software company Staffware Plc has bought one of its resellers, Software Support Ltd of Nottingham, for an undisclosed sum by means of a share swap. Software Support shareholders are swapping their shares for new shares in Staffware for the acquisition, due to be completed in January 1996. The two companies have worked closely with each other for more than six years, and both feel the merger is an obvious step forward. Nick Kingsbury, Software Support director said he and the company’s other two founding directors, will be taking senior positions in Staffware, and all 16 of their staff will also be joining the company. Software Support brings its insurance and finance market expertise to Staffware’s workflow product, which has been integrated with Lotus Notes (CI No 2,224), and is also sold by Data General Corp and Digital Equipment Corp on an OEM basis.
