Atabix strengthens its market position with the acquisition of KnowledgePlaza

KnowledgePlaza is a specialist in Collaborative Enterprise Search and Big Data Analytics. With this acquisition, Atabix adds crucial expertise to its portfolio to help (semi-)public organizations effectively search through and leverage the growing volume of data. The acquisition strengthens Atabix’s position as a leading partner for digital transformation within the public sector.

Atabix follows an active buy & build strategy to further expand its position as a leading player in government digitalization. Following earlier acquisitions of Kodision, Oberon, Mozard, and One Fox, KnowledgePlaza now also joins the Atabix Group.
