Softchoice Corp. Bulks up by Acquisition

February 01, 2008

Toronto-based Softchoice Corp., a major Microsoft large account reseller, has grown even larger thanks to a recent three-month buying spree. Softchoice, a Gold Certified Partner with $511 million in revenues for the first nine months of its current fiscal year, snapped up three companies with combined total revenues of about $532 million:

Company	Date Acquired	Sale Price	Trailing 12-Month Revenues
Optimus Solutions LLC	Jan. 3, 2008	$31.8 million	$140 million
Software Plus Inc.	Dec. 11, 2007	$45 million	$192 million
NexInnovations Inc.	Oct. 12, 2007	$10 million	$200 million

The acquisition streak -- which the company says is over for now --helped boost Softchoice's payroll from 500 to 800 people.
