Amsterdam, Netherlands-based Getronics has been focused on asset sales rather than takeovers in the last two years, as it struggles to pay off debt relating to its $1.4bn purchase of Wang Global in 1999.
Nr. 1 Software currently operates as part of Amsterdam-based Blue Fox, which is listed on the Dutch Stock Exchange. The unit manages software-licensing issues for clients including airlines, energy companies and hospitals, and specilaizes in managing software from Microsoft, Adobe, IBM, and Network Associates.
