Hewlett Packard on Wednesday bolstered its expertise in Microsoft's .Net software with the acquisition of consulting firm Extreme Logic.
Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. If the purchase is completed, Atlanta-based Extreme Logic will become a subsidiary of HP, and Extreme Logic's 200 employees will work as a part of the HP Services organization trained on Microsoft software.
The deal, announced at the HP World conference, is intended to boost HP's services offerings for building custom applications based on Microsoft software, HP said. Extreme Logic is a Microsoft partner certified in the company's .Net products.
.Net is the umbrella brand for Microsoft's line of tools and Windows-based software for writing applications that adhere to a set of standards called Web services.
