Aquí va la nota de prensa.

i-GRasp to join StepStone Group
12 July 2005

The key message to i-GRasp customers and partners from Andy Randall, i-GRasp CEO, is that “GlobalSuccessor will remain at the heart of everything we do and will benefit from the increased investment that being part of a Public Traded Company provides.”

i-GRasp will become a key contributor to the StepStone Solutions business. The management led by Andy Randall, will continue to run the company.

Colin Tenwick, CEO of StepStone, said that the acquisition of i-GRasp, combined with the existing business of StepStone Solutions, will consolidate StepStone’s clear market leadership position in Europe. In i-GRasp we will acquire a robust, proven and scalable technology platform, which enhances StepStone’s range of solutions, and will be of considerable benefit to our customers. In addition, our sales and support teams across 13 countries in Europe will materially assist in the further growth of i-GRasp.

Andy Randall, said that he and his team were delighted at becoming part of a truly European organisation. With a combined customer base in excess of 300 clients the StepStone Solutions business will be in a unique position to continue to meet the individual requirements of customers, both locally and internationally.

A ver qué sale de aquí. De hecho, el OneStep de StepStone no estaba resultando muy escalable (de hecho era bastante cutre, como la página en sí). Cada vez se tenía que hacer un desarrollo a medida. Incluso querían meterlo con calzador dentro de The Network para que nosotros les hicieramos ganar cuota de mercado y que los clientes les pagaran los costes de desarrollo a nuestra costa.

Con el tiempo veremos quien saca más provecho de los dos. Y ahora a ver si Monster hace algo.
