Another acquisition in the IT industry: CM Informatik takes over Campus Software
CM Informatik has acquired 100% of the shares of Campus Software AG and thereby strengthens its market positions in the environment of school administration solutions. After the acquisition of the two companies Roth Soft AG (LehrerOffice) and Campus Software AG, CMI underlines its strategic focus in the education sector.
After the Acquisition of BrainCONNECT the Swiss IT company CM Informatik announces another acquisition: Campus Software AG, a provider of school administration solutions for elementary and music schools, joins the company. Campus was founded in 1995. The company previously offered a popular, web- and cloud-based school administration solution with a variety of additional modules. In addition, there are numerous interfaces to relevant peripheral systems. The customer base consists of cantons, cities, municipalities and individual schools - primarily in the cantons of Bern, Zurich, Solothurn and Graubünden.
Through this acquisition, CMI consolidates its market-leading role in the Swiss software market for school communities and accompanies Campus customers into a secure and sustainable future. The acquired software solution "iCampus" is almost identical to the solutions offered by CMI and is the best possible successor software for the newly acquired customers, according to the statement.
Employees are taken over
The employees will be taken over by CMI or PolySol GmbH (former co-owner of Campus Software AG). In the future, PolySol employees will continue to take over orders in the area of maintenance and operation of the Campus solution. "We are pleased to have found a good solution for our customers with CMI. Together we will make sure that our customers are well supported and receive a sustainable solution with even more functionality from CMI", says Stefan Kale, Managing Director of PolySol.
Here's what's next for iCampus customers after the acquisition
The iCampus system will continue to run as usual and support will be seamlessly ensured, CM Informatik notes. Existing customer contracts will continue unchanged. In the medium term, iCampus customers will benefit from the successor solution "CMI School". "CMI School" is based on the CMI solution framework. Currently, the framework is being extended by the module "CMI LehrerOffice". This is completely web-based and integrated in "CMI School" and can be used on mobile devices (e.g. tablets) without installation in the future. Together with the communication app of the strategic partner "Klapp", CMI offers a robust overall solution for elementary schools.
