Bouvet, a Norwegian consulting house of more than 300 consultants, which has had a strong focus on Topic Maps for a number of years, has acquired all shares in Ontopia.
"Getting Ontopia's deep Topic Maps competence on board at Bouvet is very exciting for us. It strengthens our ambition to deliver a broad range of Topic Maps-based solutions. Given today's focus on semantic
standards the timing is perfect," says Ole-Jørgen Tallaksrud, head of
business development at Bouvet.
"We were looking for alternative ways to grow, and found Bouvet to be the most attractive option. Bouvet's broad competence complements our own narrower focus very well," says Ontopia's CTO Lars Marius Garshol. "We believe we can achieve much more than we were able to on our own."
Employing around 40 consultants building Topic Maps-based solutions,
Bouvet acquires all of Ontopia's employees, partners, and customers,
as well as the Ontopia Knowledge Suite (OKS). Ontopia and Bouvet have
had a close partnership over many years. The acquisition makes Ontopia part of a much larger entity, with the resources to take the Ontopia
vision forward.
