SAN DIEGO-Qualcomm Inc. has acquired Now Software, a pioneer in cross-platform, personal productivity software.
With the purchase, Qualcomm gains Now’s range of advanced scheduling and “calendaring” software products that meet a growing demand for individual and enterprise collaboration for both office and mobile users, said Qualcomm.
The Now product line and its Internet engineering staff will be incorporated into Qualcomm’s Eudora Division, which is expected to strengthen Eudora’s technological leadership in the Internet market, said Qualcomm.
“The acquisition of Now gives Qualcomm access to exciting new technologies and talented individuals,” said Jeff Jacobs, vice president and general manager of Qualcomm’s Eudora Division. “It also will provide Eudora’s 18 million users with enhanced communications capabilities and expand the way they communicate and work together in the Internet and ultimately the wireless environment.”
