Golden Gate Capital To Acquire Lawson
Lawson Software announced this morning that it has agreed to be acquired and taken private by Golden Gate Capital and software vendor Infor for $2 billion cash. Lawson has a significant hospital presence with products that include financial management, supply chain, human resources, the Cloverleaf integration line, a master patient index, and electronic health records.
Infor offers solutions that include customer relationship management, enterprise resource planning, supply chain, financial management, and workforce management. Infor CEO Charles Phillips was quoted in a statement as saying that the acquisition “will extend our existing portfolio, particularly in areas such as healthcare, public sector, manufacturing and human capital management.”
The acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter.
This is actually pretty old news Tim. Infor along w Golden Gate acquiring Lawson has been in the works for a couple of months. I thought everyone knew this one
[From Mr. HIStalk] The offer was old (March 11). The acceptance of that offer is new.
Based on what Infor has done with Workbrain, I can’t think this is good for Lawson customers.
I agree with John@chilmark! This is a very old subject. I posted on HIStalk about two years ago that Lawson was ripe for takeover, just didn’t expect it to be a investment group.
TPD!
