Computer Power Software Group Inc, describing itself as a Folsom, California-based company that provides mission-critical tools to information systems organisations through its subsidiaries, last week announced it has acquired Island Graphics Inc’s Office Products Division and hired key employees. It now owns the Island Productivity Series, Island Graphics’s Unix productivity tools. Terms were not disclosed. Computer Power has formed a new company, Island Software, with Island Graphics as a minority shareholder to take over development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and support of Island Write, Draw & Paint, Island Presents and IslandCalc. It is currently located at Island Graphics’s San Rafael, California headquarters. Paul Remer, formerly vice-president of Island Graphics and general manager of the division, has joined Island Software as vice-president and general manager. Karen Eriksson, currently president of Computer Power’s Intext Division, will become president. The game plan is to turn the software into a cross-system client-server tool.
