Phoenix Software International acquires Ascential Software's
Key/Master data entry software
Los Angeles, Calif., Jan. 27
/PRNewswire/ -- Phoenix Software International, Inc. (PSI)
today announced the signing of an agreement to acquire the
Key/Master data entry software line from Ascential Software
Corporation. PSI, headquartered in Los Angeles California, will
assume all existing maintenance agreements with current Key/Master
customers.
"Phoenix Software International is pleased
to add Key/Master to our family of data entry software products,"
said Fred Hoschett, President of PSI. "We look forward to continuing
the development and maintenance of the Key/Master line. The
transition is expected to be a smooth one for the Key/Master
customers, since Phoenix understands the needs of data entry
software users and has been providing first-rate support to its many
data entry customers for nearly 25 years."
Bob Zurek, Vice President of Advanced
Technologies and Product Management at Ascential Software
Corporation, said "Ascential's core business is enterprise data
integration. Key/Master was part of Mercator Software, which we
acquired in September of last year. Key/Master is outside of our
data integration focus and, consequently, we determined that it
would be in the best interest of Key/Master customers to transfer
the product to PSI, a company specifically focused on providing
support for data entry applications and end-users.”
