This story is of particular interest to me being a Canadian. AVG yesterday announced that they have acquired LPI Level Platforms of Ottawa who specialize in remote monitoring and management software. The fit is clear according to a press release put out by AVG:
Headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, LPI Level Platforms provides next generation remote monitoring and management software (RMM) through Managed Workplace, its award-winning cloud-based remote monitoring and management platform. With its advanced hybrid agentless architecture, this platform provides visibility and unified management of the entire IT infrastructure, including devices, applications, networks and cloud, while providing superior ease of use, security and control for the user. The acquisition will enhance AVG’s cloud-based services model by adding LPI Level Platforms’ Managed Workplace software to AVG CloudCare™, integrating products such as RMM and Mobile Device Management (MDM). In addition, it will significantly expand AVG’s distributor network by adding over 1,500 active LPI Level Platform Managed Service Providers (MSP) partners.
The way I see it, adding LPI Level Platforms’ products strengthens AVG’s AntiVirus, content filtering, back-up and optimization portfolio, creating a best of breed platform to address the needs of small business types. The deal is subject to approval of course, but this sounds like a win to me.
