Beta Systems acquires DETEC Group
February 2009 by Marc Jacob
Beta Systems Software France, 100 % subsidiary owned by Beta Systems Software AG, software editor on the datacenter management market announces the acquisition of all shares in DETEC Decision Technology Software GmbH and DSP DETEC Software Products GmbH.
DETEC’s portfolio comprises products to generate optically high-quality and sophisticated documents in the output management area through the formatting of output data.
With the combination of the products LaserSoft/ DoXite and Beta 93, Beta Systems’ breadth of expertise will expand from a distribution- and print-centered solution to a complete process chain that ranges from the preparation to the distribution of documents. A complete range of solutions – myPDFconvert, mySPAD et DoXite – is targeted at both specialist depart-ments within companies and specialists within data centers.
Beta Systems will consequently offer its customers in both the decentralized open systems and SAP environments a port-folio that in future covers all functional building blocks within an integrated output product family, from formatters all the way through to printer management.
The core DETEC product, Lasersoft/ DoXite, formats graphical documents from data, texts, and layouts. The product serves as a type of preliminary step to the Beta Systems products Beta 93 and Beta UX, which are used to distribute com-pleted documents within data centers. Lasersoft/ DoXite produces many types of documents for various output media, and in a company’s individual layout. It processes Unicode, and can be deployed on a global scale. Source data from various applications are automatically transformed into structured documents, or into other required data formats such as XML, PDF, or HTML for other types of communication (B2B or B2C).
