FYI From: Ron Ferguson ,
I'm pleased to announce that Rocket Software, a Boston-based developer of Enterprise Infrastructure products, has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Mainstar. The closing of the transaction is expected to occur on July 31, 2006.
We're excited about what this change means for Mainstar and for you. In addition to continuing to provide crucial software, services, support, and expertise that you can trust, this new partnership with Rocket will ensure that we can deliver innovative features and solutions faster. Because we'll continue to operate under the Mainstar brand, and with all of our current staff, you'll experience the unbeatable support that you expect from Mainstar. We're continuing our dedication to solving z/OS business issues with integrity, and we'll continue to support and enhance the Mainstar solutions that you have now - and we'll develop the solutions you need for the future.
I'm very proud that Mainstar has stayed true for 27 years to our core competency. While we started in 1978 as a mainframe education and training company, and transitioned in 1986 to a software and services company, the technical direction throughout our history has been mainframe storage management, ICF catalog management, and business continuity. Mainstar and Rocket Software fit each other tremendously well, in terms of technology, product lines, and corporate values, so this agreement will strengthen our commitment to you. I promise that we'll continue to exceed your expectations with innovation and expertise.
