Alterian Acquires MarkIT
Database marketing solutions provider Alterian said yesterday that it acquired MarkIT Information Services Ltd., a company that delivers marketing technology through application service provider services.Terms were not disclosed.
Alterian, Chicago, said the deal expands its service portfolio to its partner network. The company will deliver a new service called Alterian Connect, which will let marketing service providers benefit from Alterian-based solutions without having to manage the administration, upgrades and maintenance of the technology at their own sites.
Alterian Connect will deliver a series of hosted services that let MSPs obtain Alterian technology over the Internet. Client implementation times will be reduced because the Alterian solution is rolled out by a team of experts from a dedicated data center, Alterian said.
Alterian Connect is expected to be attractive to MSPs that lack in-house resources to provide multiple, hosted technology implementations.
