Infor to acquire Hanson Information Technologies   21st May 2007 Infor says it intends to acquire Hansen Information Technologies, a provider of applications for the public sector. The acquisition of Hansen will strengthen Infor's ability to serve the growing public sector, specifically local government and municipal authorities. Hansen's applications help manage the daily operations of government, and include the applications for Building Permits, Licensing, Code Enforcement, Citizen Relationship Management, Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), Transit and Rail, Financials, Property Tax, and Utility Billing. Hansen 8, the company's flagship product, is an integrated web-based suite of these applications. “Infor's strategy is to address markets where customers want solutions with functionality and expertise specific to their needs, rather than the generic products of the large horizontal software providers,” said Jim Schaper, chairman and CEO of Infor. “Hansen provides software that is built for the unique needs of state and local government. Following the close of this transaction, Infor will provide a complete offering of government-specific solutions from a vendor that has the size and scale to be a long-term strategic partner.” Hansen has 470 customers globally and serves government entities in the U.S., Canada , Australia , New Zealand , South Africa and the U.K. , all markets where Infor has a substantial presence. Solutions overlap is minimal, says Infor, and the acquisitive Group will continue its strategy of delivering specific solutions to customers on the platform of their choice.
