CA to buy Nimsoft Inc. for $350 million in cash
The acquisition gives CA a cadre of smaller-company clients served by Nimsoft whose revenues typically run from $300 million to $2 billion. CA historically has focused on serving larger corporate customers.
CA expects these smaller companies to account for a quarter of tech management software spending by 2013.
Nimsoft sells software that monitors the different components of a company's information technology environment, from servers and networks to applications. Its software helps a company run its IT systems more efficiently, whether at the office or virtually in third-party servers.
Nimsoft also sells to managed service providers, which handle smaller firms' IT needs. The deal, expected to close by the end of March, should have a minimal effect on 2010 financials but will be a drag on earnings in 2011.
