Persistent Systems to acquire Parx Werk

Indian Information technology services provider Persistent Systems Ltd has agreed to acquire Swiss Firm Parx Werk AG to strengthen its expertise in Salesforce Software.
Parx is a certified partner in Germany, Austria and Switzerland of Salesforce, an American cloud computing company that provides a cloud-based customer relationship management software. This is the second acquisition by Persistent of a Salesforce partner since March last year, when it had agreed to acquire Australia’s PRM Cloud Solutions Pty Ltd for an undisclosed amount.

Parx was incorporated in 2001. The company reported revenue of 8 million Swiss francs for the year ended December 2016. It recorded a 28% annual compound growth in revenue from 2014. Prior to its acquisition of Australia’s PRM Solutions, Persistent had signed an agreement in January 2016 to acquire Citrix Systems’ CloudPlatform and CloudPortal Business Manager Product lines for an undisclosed amount through its US subsidiary.

In 2015, Persistent had made two acquisitions. It acquired Ireland-based technology firm Aepona Holdings Ltd and US-based software company Akumina Inc. content management services business. Data, digital, IoT (internet of things) and platforms are the foundation of software-driven businesses. Parx brings a deep business domain understanding that complements our technology expertise.
