VerticaLive Acquires Enterprise Accounting Software Vendor, Advanced Software Development
Houma, Louisiana (PRWEB) July 24, 2013 -- VerticaLive Inc., a leading provider of vertical cloud ERP solutions, announced that it has acquired Advanced Software Development (ASD), an accounting industry stalwart whose UA Business Software powers a global customer base numbering several thousand companies and is supported by a partner network consisting of hundreds of technology providers and industry consultants. The move positions VerticaLive to offer a migration path for UA users to a next-generation Software-as-a-Service environment, and to assist UA business partners in transitioning their business models to the cloud.
Stated VerticaLive CEO, Matthew DeVoll, “Advanced Software pioneered the concept of an open source business solution more than 20 years ago. That concept attracted hundreds of innovators in the accounting and technology consultancy field who became a part of the ASD reseller network. The UA Business Software product is in use around the globe across dozens of industries. Many UA customers will want to migrate their implementations to the cloud, and many UA partners will want to create cloud practices. We look forward to assisting them.”
