A global leader in flexible, end-to-end business management solutions has expanded its presence in Europe following the acquisition of an ERP software and service provider.

Priority Software announced in a statement this week that it had acquired OPTIMIZE GROUP, a Belgium-based full-service ICT services provider, as it continues to expand its European footprint.  

OPTIMIZE GROUP, through its four business divisions – M-Soft (solutions for the steel industry), Jamadata (beverage industry), DAVE (Just Software – solution for SMEs working on Mac and Windows) and OPTIMIZE (professional services division providing customised ERP software and support).  OPTIMIZE also provides Business Intelligence (BI), Customer Relationship Management Services (CRM), Business Process Management (BPM), e-commerce and consultancy services.
