Sonata Software Ltd on Thursday said it has agreed to acquire Brisbane, Australia-based Scalable Data Systems Pty. Ltd for an enterprise value up to 5.5 million Australian dollars ($4 million or Rs 28 crore) in an all-cash deal.

“Scalable Data Systems brings great value in terms of Microsoft Dynamics 365 capabilities and resources to Sonata,” said Srikar Reddy, managing director and chief executive of Bengaluru-based Sonata Software. Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a cloud-based collection of business applications.

Scalable Data Systems is a Microsoft Dynamics 365 value-added reseller and a software vendor focused on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations (F&O), according to a press release. Scalable Data Systems provides Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O solutions to clients in Australia.

Reddy said, “The acquisition will provide Sonata with additional intellectual properties (IPs) and geographical reach, along with a strong boost to its strategy to be a global leader in the Microsoft Dynamics 365 partner ecosystem with core IPs across a wide range of industries and a global footprint.” 

The acquisition is expected to close in a month.

Sonata Software receives a chunk of its revenues from reselling software in India and is a major reseller of Microsoft software.

The agreement to acquire Scalable Data Systems comes more than three years after Sonata Software in October 2015 entered into a pact to take over US-based Interactive Business Information Systems Inc. for about $14 million (Rs 91 crore).

Sonata Software then said the acquisition would strengthen its footprint as a global Microsoft Dynamics partner for the retail and distribution industry.

In December 2017, Sonata Software picked up 15% stake in Denmark-based Izara ApS to grow its presence in the Nordic region.
