Intergraph to be acquired by Hexagon AB

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

In a press release today, “Intergraph Corp. announced it has signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by Hexagon AB, a leading global measurement technology company, in a transaction valued at approximately $2.125 billion.

Upon closing of the transaction, Intergraph will operate as a separate Hexagon division under the Intergraph name and branding.

Intergraph will become Hexagon’s core software platform and will continue to provide differentiated and vertically-focused software solutions to its core industries.  Intergraph software will also be integrated into Hexagon’s existing measurement and precision technology system markets to provide a visual presentation layer for the management, analysis and sharing of the vast amounts of critical data produced by these products.

In 2006, Intergraph was acquired by an investor group led by Hellman & Friedman LLC, TPG Capital and JMI Equity. “

The Intergraph conference in Washington, D.C. drew almost 1,000 attendees this week, in spite of economics worldwide. PR spokespeople did say that there are fewer international attendees than in previous years.
Understandably, Tuesday’s keynotes were all about weathering the economic downturn. CEO Halsey Wise spoke of Intergraph’s anniversary this year of 40 years in business. He talked about how great innovation such as “sliced bread” was spawned during the Great Depression and economic strife presents a great opportunity to come up with innovation. Wise said organizations need to be very efficient and adaptable.

Day Two (Wednesday) featured a press conference with Halsey Wise and Reid French. Wise talked about growth plans, saying that they show you what you will and won’t do.

He also suggested that Intergraph has a different geospatial model than its competitors. He said, “If you’re relying on third parties to add value to your technology then you’re not in as strong a position.”

He added that the recession severely impacts those companies that rely on small, undercapitalized resellers and VARs. He said Intergraph aims for $1 billion in revenue by 2012, not counting acquisitions.
