DWL Adds Real-Time Wen Collaboration Capability
with Acquisition of IPMeeting.com
DWL Incorporated, a leading e-solutions company, today announced they have acquired Ottawa-based IPMeeting.com, a provider of
Java-based web collaboration for self-help, application sharing and live discussions.
Under the terms of the acquisition, DWL will fully integrate IPMeeting.com’s component-based collaboration solution into DWL UnifiTM, its core transactional
e-business platform, to give customers fully personalized collaboration functionality to enhance customer service.
"IPMeeting.com was identified as a very attractive acquisition target for DWL," said Justin LaFayette, president and CEO, DWL Incorporated.
"Not only do we believe collaboration is a key piece of real-time e-business solutions, both companies share the same approach to how
we develop and deliver technology, and also share the same vision on how to effectively evolve web infrastructure solutions
to meet customers needs."
The acquisition will broaden the DWL Unifi platform to include secure communication and collaboration, including whiteboard, chat,
application sharing, web streaming and on-line presentation capabilities. With IPMeeting.com’s collaboration components
easily integrated and customized to meet solution requirements, customers can offer high touch service offerings
to the various audiences interacting in an organization’s on-line environment.
"We are increasingly seeing the need for advanced and highly customized collaboration tools from our customers.
Extending our core product with such tools will fully optimize the value of web-enabling key business processes," added LaFayette.
"We are very pleased DWL recognized IPMeeting.com’s unique technology and the highly talented group of individuals responsible
for its development," said Mike Sandler, president and CEO, IPMeeting.com. "The prospect of integrating our solution into
DWL’s platform is an exciting opportunity to expand and optimize traditional CRM processes."
Upon completion of the deal in late October, DWL will integrate the more than 20 IPMeeting.com employees into their existing product
research and development team across both their head office in Toronto and IPMeeting’s Ottawa offices.
