  • Infor Acquires Bridgelogix for Data Collection

    June 7, 2010 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    Midrange application powerhouse Infor is growing again through acquisitions, this time buying long-time bar code data collection partner Bridgelogix.

    Both Infor and Bridgelogix are privately held companies, so the financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

    Bridgelogix was founded in 1999 by Koty Krishna, and the Tulsa, Oklahoma, company was created to provide data collection software for manufacturers and distributors, many of whom were implementing their first real ERP systems at the time.

    Over the past decade, Bridgelogix has carved out a niche for itself as the preferred data collection front end of various Infor ERP suites, including Infor Baan, ERP/LN, BPCS, ERP/LX, and PRMS as well as complementing Infor’s Warehouse Management System. So the acquisition is not much of a surprise. Bridgelogix, according to statistics cited by Infor, was one of the fastest-growing companies in the United States in both 2008 and 2009, and currently has 350 customers with more than 900 installations.

    With Infor having more than 70,000 customers (about 15,000 of them being AS/400-i shops), there seems to be a huge potential for cross-selling Bridgelogix data collection software to that vast installed base. Infor was not specific about its plans for the Bridgelogix products, but said that following the acquisition, it would “drive further integrations and product enhancements, which may create more value for customers.”

    With COVID-19 wreaking havoc, cybercriminals are taking advantage of the global impact that it has had on our families, our businesses and our societies. It is more important now than ever to ensure that IT systems are protected, so that when all of this is behind us, we can get back to business as usual as quickly as possible.

    iSecurity Anti-Ransomware protects organizations against ransomware attacks and other kinds of malware that may access and change business-critical data on your IBM i. It even protects against zero-day attacks. Anti-Viruses can only report on the damage an attack has caused, but not stop it.

    iSecurity Anti-Ransomware has been recently enhanced with a Self-Test feature that allows you to simulate a ransomware attack on your IBM i. The simulated attack is limited to the test folder and cannot harm any other folders or files. This new feature lets organizations see how they are protected against known or unknown ransomware.

    Key Features:

    • Real-time scanning for known and unknown ransomware threats.
    • Blocks and disconnects the intruder.
    • Instantaneously sends alerts to SIEM as well as the offending computer.
    • Self-Test for attack simulation
    • Classification of the attack based on log.
    • Automatic updates with the most current ransomware definitions.
