Lincoln software firm completes biggest acquisition to date

Lincoln-based cloud software firm ECI Software Solutions has completed its biggest acquisition to date.

The firm has snapped up Netherlands-based Trivest Beheer, a provider of smart vertical software solutions to the SME manufacturing sector.

ECI previously announced on August 13 that it had signed an agreement to acquire Trivest, with completion subject to specified regulatory approvals and closing conditions. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

This acquisition—which is ECI’s largest to date—will significantly expand ECI’s presence in Europe. Trivest’s near-3,000 customers and 300 employees will join ECI’s Manufacturing Division, which serves small and medium-sized manufacturers in North America, Europe and Australia.
