Macadamian, Canada’s Leading Software R&D Outsourcing firm Announces the Acquisition of Maskery, a Renowned User Experience Design Company
Acquisition extends Macadamian’s capabilities into the design and innovation stage of product creation to now help technology companies quickly bring new products from idea to market-ready.
Ottawa, ON (PRWEB) August 10, 2006 -– Macadamian Technologies, Canada’s fastest growing software Research and Development (R&D) outsourcing firm, today announced the acquisition of Maskery, one of Canada’s most respected user experience design firms. Maskery’s human experience design expertise will extend Macadamian’s capabilities beyond software engineering and into the design and idea stages of product development.
“For sophisticated software companies the ‘not invented here’ syndrome is a thing of the past,” says Fréderic Boulanger, President and CEO of Macadamian. “Successful software companies are looking outside of their walls for new ideas. Acquiring Maskery brings to Macadamian the human factors and design expertise we need to sit at the boardroom table with our customers when product ideas are first taking shape, and help them form, perfect, prototype, design and build winning products.”
“Canada, Ottawa in particular, has become a hotbed of successful R&D outsourcing companies that have found a lucrative niche in the highly competitive global outsourcing market – helping companies build new, cutting-edge products,” says Mike Darch, Executive Director of Global Marketing, OCRI. “In order to differentiate themselves, Canadian R&D outsourcing companies need to have world-class design capabilities and add value early in the product cycle. Macadamian is already a great company with an impressive customer base; this acquisition further establishes them as a leader in their space.”
“At Entrust we have many software partners to choose from, but we choose Macadamian for projects that require innovation, and experience developing first-to-market products,” says Kevin Simzer, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Entrust. “With this acquisition, Macadamian will bring new ideas and new capabilities, and in short, add more value as a partner. We’re thrilled about this announcement.”
