Infotech Enterprises to acquire US-based Softential

IT firm Infotech Enterprises today said it will acquire US-based Softential, a move aimed at strengthening its telecom and enterprise solutions portfolio.

Under the all cash transaction, Infotech's wholly owned subsidiary, Infotech Enterprises America will acquire Virginia US)-headquartered Softential, which offers service management and service assurance solutions for telecommunications and cable operators, enterprise customers and the public sector.
