(“UNICOM”), a global information technology company and part of the UNICOM group of companies, and Beta Systems Software AG (“BSS”), today announced that they have successfully completed a Share Purchase and Assignment Agreement whereby UNICOM shall acquire all shares in DETEC Software GmbH (“DETEC”), a wholly-owned limited liability company of BSS.  Subject to authorities’ approvals, the acquisition will close and be effective July 31, 2012.

BSS’ CEO, Jürgen Herbott stated, “The sale of DETEC will allow Beta Systems to continue to focus on our core competencies in the light of our restructuring process and continuous strategic realignment.” Mr. Herbott continued, “We are impressed with UNICOM’s leadership, technology and ability to consummate such a global deal without delay.”

UNICOM’s Founder, President & CEO, Corry Hong stated, “I am very impressed with DETEC’s advanced and highly scalable document composition technology, especially, DoXite and LaserSoft products which automate the production, distribution and digitalization of document workflows in high performance customer and business environments. Together with UNICOM’s Columbus DMS suite, we are able to capture, manage, archive analytics processes and extract tangible value from the vast amounts of unstructured source data from diverse applications.” Mr. Hong continued, “Over 2.5 Quintrillion bytes of data are created daily, and it is predicted that the amount of traffic flowing over the internet will reach 667 exabytes annually by 2013.  The addition of DETEC enables UNICOM to present enterprise-wide IT solutions including Application Modernization, Mobility, Cyber Security, Smart Computing, Big Data Analytics, Big Data Storage, Apache Hadoop Framework, Social Media Solutions, Hardware Appliances, Cloud Computing, Digital Imaging, Document Management, ITIL ITSM deployments, the Power 7 and zEnterprise.”
