GXS & Inovis Merger
GXS & Inovis Announce Merger
Yesterday, two of the largest VANs in the EDI industry announced plans to merge in 2010. Both GXS and Inovis have long histories serving global EDI customers, and in some capacity their combination will likely affect most companies conducting B2B e-commerce. GXS’ equity owner, Francisco Partners, will be the majority shareholder of the combined company, and GXS CEO Bob Segert will run the company.
With GXS clearly positioned to be in control of the combined company, I spent some time looking through blogs and EDI-related user groups to gauge the marketplace views on the merger. The opinions being articulated were divergent based on source.
