LANDESK, a global leader in delivering user-oriented IT solutions that solve systems, asset, security, mobility and IT service management challenges announced it acquired Naurtech, a company that develops connectivity solutions to provide mobile access to enterprise data and applications using Windows CE platform devices. This acquisition brings LANDESK additional mobility solutions, enabling its business to expand, and provides a new support community to Naurtech customers.

“We have been impressed with the product offerings Naurtech has developed,” said Steve Bemis, vice president, mobile productivity business unit for LANDESK. “Naurtech brings complementary expertise that will strengthen support for our mobile operating systems and provide support for additional ruggedized devices. We are thrilled to bring Naurtech into the LANDESK family.”

Although Naurtech will be part of the larger LANDESK business, its product offerings will be maintained separately. LANDESK plans to continue extending Naurtech’s product offerings with additional mobile platform support, as well as leveraging Naurtech capabilities in other LANDESK products.

Naurtech currently offers the only SAP-recommended mobile browser in the market, making it the preferred solution for organizations looking to improve user productivity for line of business applications built on the SAP platform. In addition, Naurtech provides relationships with additional device manufacturers and is currently being used in thousands of deployments in market segments such as retail, manufacturing, distribution, consumer packaged goods and logistics.

“We have long admired the service that LANDESK offers its customers in the ruggedized space and we are honoured to be joining forces with them,” said Pankaj Nauriyal, vice president of sales and business development at Naurtech. “This acquisition brings our team additional resources, along with expanded customer service through LANDESK’s 24-hour global support offerings and its vibrant user community. We are excited for what the future holds as part of LANDESK.”

LANDESK continues to drive innovation, developing the smart platforms and voice-driven applications of the future, which increase user productivity and produce measurable results.
