Antenna Software recently acquired its competitor Dexterra, which will help it scale globally and drive innovation.

 

“Not only is Antenna the de facto industry leader in the mobile market, but it is also the leader with the most vision, setting the standard for where the industry is going in 2010 and beyond,” said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO, Antenna Software. “The beauty of mobility is that it has the power to align IT infrastructure more tightly with business needs, facilitating macro improvements in business processes.”
