CA Technologies has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Automic Holding, a business automation software specialist. The transaction, valued at approximately 600 million Euros, has been unanimously approved by both boards of directors, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of CA’s fiscal 2017.
With Automic, CA will add new cloud-enabled automation and orchestration capabilities across the portfolio with a global solution that complements their existing technology investments to address the challenges of automation across the enterprise.
Automic’s automation and orchestration capabilities will give CA Technologies customers options that address their IT operations and DevOps needs on-premise, in the cloud and hybrid cloud environments. With real-time analytics incorporated into the end-to-end platform approach, customers will benefit from increased business agility.
“Global businesses need the flexibility and agility to move workloads to the most appropriate locations across heterogeneous hybrid cloud environments, with continuous availability, to stay ahead of their competition,” said Ayman Sayed, President and Chief Product Officer, CA Technologies.
“With the acquisition of Automic, we will deliver automation, scale work flows and business processes while reducing costs and greatly improving accuracy. This level of intelligent automation will give our customers the insights to achieve more agility and realise business value. We are pleased to welcome Automic, which is profitable and growing at a healthy clip, into CA. Strategically, it accelerates our position with its cloud enabled platform. Operationally, it expands our reach across Europe. And, financially, it meets our rigorous hurdle rates while providing the highest likely return on offshore cash.”
Automic’s automation technology underpins digital transformation by helping enterprises move from siloed automation to intelligent and orchestrated automation with real-time analytics.
“Enterprise customers are engaging with vendors to support their digital transformation initiatives to increase velocity, reliability and scalability among their businesses processes,” said Todd DeLaughter, CEO, Automic. “Together with CA Technologies, we will help organisations further propel their intelligent automation capabilities to the next level, driving the agility and speed demanded in this era of digital transformation.”
Headquartered in Vienna, Austria, Automic has approximately 600 employees across Europe, North America and Asia. The company has offices in Vienna; Paris, France; Asia Pacific Japan (APJ), and Washington in the US. It serves customers in the energy, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, retail and telecommunications sectors.
