"ArsDigita Corporation, an open-source enterprise software
provider of web-based solutions for corporate, e-commerce and
educational communities, today announced it has completed the
acquisition of iAggregate. iAggregate's software platform enables
companies to provide consolidated services and account information
to their customers by aggregating information from multiple sources
on the Internet."
"The software is being integrated with the ArsDigita
Community System (ACS) -- a suite of open-source, enterprise-class
applications that support e-commerce, enterprise management and
education/training conducted through online communities."
"iAggregate's technology addresses the need for businesses to
seamlessly view and control information and services from disparate
sources and vendors, which is crucial for companies doing business
on the Internet," said Allen Shaheen, CEO of ArsDigita. "There's a
great demand for this service, evidenced by this week's acquisition
of OnDisplay by Vignette (NASDAQ:VIGN). However, since the ACS is
in constant development by the open-source community, we'll be able
to offer aggregation capabilities very quickly as part of our ACS
platform."
