KUALA LUMPUR: Infomedia, a Nordic media intelligence company, has acquired Norwegian Opoint Technology from M-brain.
The transfer includes Opoint’s web-crawling technology for online media, the business of web-crawling services for over 70 international media monitors and key personnel in Oslo and Chennai.
Infomedia’s chief executive officer, Thomas Vejlemand said the acquisition marked another milestone for Infomedia.
“We believe in continued growth in web-crawling services for the media intelligence space – both by driving the solution to new customers and adding new services on top of the current crawling, feeds and platform,” said Vejlemand.
The acquisition of Opoint Technology does not change the current Nordic collaboration between Infomedia and M-brain under the partnership, “MIA – Media Intelligence Alliance”.
Under Infomedia, Opoint Technology will continue its 25 people operations across Norway and India, still with Jon Anders Tangnes in charge of customer relations and Rune Kleveland heading the continued development of the web-crawler.
The acquisition of Opoint was finalised on Feb 15, 2018. – Bernama
