AfMA Corporate Partner Figtree Systems has been sold by NTT Data as part of a new acquisition by Canadian enterprise Constellation Software’s subsidiary Vela Software.
Under the move Figtree Systems will operate as an independent company within Vela Software, with the move hoped to expand Figtree’s reach into new markets.
“AfMA would like to thank NTT Data Figtree Systems for their support as a Corporate Partner since 2009 and for the scholarships they provided for Swinburne’s Diploma of Leadership and Management,” AfMA Executive Director Mace Hartley said.
“Their support in professionalising the fleet and automotive industries has demonstrated true leadership. AfMA would also like to congratulate Velo Software on their acquisition.”
The following statement was released earlier this week to acknowledge the change:
