Groupe Bull SA-owned systems integrator Intefris has acquired the UniKix IBM CICS under Unix technology from Unicorn Systems on undisclosed terms. The acquisition includes Unicorn’s VM CICS product. Integris will now service the Unicorn client base of some 25 customers worldwide. Unicorn’s UniKix and VM CICS development, support and sales personnel have transferred to Integris. Integris plans significant new investment in UniKix, both in research and development and marketing distribution. It will seek third-party partners in both the application and systems software areas to help expand distribution quickly in order to build up an unassailable lead over IBM Corp itself, which is working on CICS/AIX.
