June 08 2016 - 8:00AM
Aptean, a leading provider of mission critical enterprise software
solutions, announced today the acquisition of Advanced Public
Safety Inc. (APS), a business of Trimble (NASDAQ:TRMB), which
provides software solutions that increase safety and productivity
for law enforcement and public safety agencies across the United
States.
“The acquisition of APS brings Aptean new opportunities to
expand in the public sector space,” said Kim Eaton, Aptean CEO.
“The electronic citation software APS provides to the law
enforcement community is a good strategic fit with our portfolio of
vertically-focused mission critical enterprise software solutions.
We look forward to supporting the growth of APS through Aptean’s
experience in bringing relevant and trusted technology solutions to
our customers across the globe.”
“We are excited to join the Aptean team and to benefit from
their core operational efficiencies and deep knowledge in the
enterprise software market,” said Bill Martin, General Manager of
APS. “As a part of Aptean, we can accelerate our strategy to
strengthen our market share and introduce innovative solutions to
drive high value for our customers. By leveraging Aptean’s
strengths, we can continue to provide superior service and support
to our customers, enabling them to increase the productivity and
safety of their law enforcement officers in the field.”
APS provides automated mobile solutions to public safety
agencies to address the administrative challenges of issuing
traffic citations and crash/accident reports. APS’s solutions also
help law enforcement and court staff to quickly access, analyze,
store, and share the data as well as reduce the reliance on
paper-based systems. More than 1,000 police agencies rely on APS’s
technology to work safer, faster, and more efficiently.
Their flagship product, Virtual Partner 2.0, is
delivered as a SaaS offering. It is an easy to use electronic
citation solution which allows officers to print citations in the
field and share the data with other public safety agencies.
Additionally, the APS QuickVoice software system
helps increase officer safety by providing an audible voice that
reads data received on mobile computers in patrol vehicles, thus
reducing the visual distraction of needing to read critical
information on a screen during a traffic stop.
Financial terms of the sale were not disclosed.
