Kerio Technologies acquires rival WebSTAR from 4D
Messaging provider Kerio Technologies expands its Mac market presence with 4D WebSTAR purchase
Kerio Technologies, a leading global provider of Internet security software and secure messaging solutions, has announced its acquisition of the WebSTAR product portfolio from 4D, a software provider based in Clichy, France. 4D WebSTAR is a complete messaging system designed for Mac OS X. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed though Kerio Technologies obtains access to 4D WebSTAR’s customer base and technology.
“The addition of the large WebSTAR user community is a natural fit for Kerio Technologies’ growing customer base,” comments Michael Osterman, President of Osterman Research. “Another example of the continued consolidation in the messaging market, this acquisition will strengthen Kerio Technologies’ competitive position in the Mac market.”
“With the acquisition of WebSTAR, Kerio Technologies continues to invest in the small to medium sized business (SME) groupware market,” explains Martin Viktora, CEO of Kerio Technologies, “Our goal has always been to develop easy to use, targeted products for the SME. We will continue to seek out opportunities that benefit Kerio MailServer’s growing customer base.”
"4D is pleased that the WebSTAR customer base will now be served by Kerio Technologies, the premier messaging company for SMEs,” confirms Laurent Ribardiere, Chairman and CEO, 4D SA. "This acquisition allows 4D to focus on its core RAD and Database product lines.”
The WebSTAR name has been associated with Mac-based email technology for over 10 years. Today 4D WebSTAR and 4D Mail have several thousand customers worldwide.
Kerio Technologies will work with existing 4D WebSTAR customers to seamlessly transition them to Kerio MailServer. A simple migration tool will be developed for these customers and will be offered at no additional cost. Kerio plans to incorporate relevant parts of WebSTAR technology into Kerio MailServer. Kerio will provide specialised technical support to existing 4D WebSTAR and 4D Mail customers until the close of 2006 and plans to maintain the stability of the latest release of these products for one year.
