Executive Summary

In July 2017, Sweden-headquartered software and IT services provider Addnode Group announced the acquisition of facility, property and workplace management software vendor Service Works Group (SWG) in an SEK 132 million ($16.3 million) deal. Following the acquisition, SWG will operate as its own brand within Addnode Group’s Design Management division and plans to broaden its software via integrations with other software solutions within the Addnode Group. This latest deal confirms that mergers and acquisitions across the real estate and facilities management software market are not slowing in pace. Verdantix finds that this latest acquisition fuels the race to provide a complete software for facilities management and ramps up pressure on computer aided facilities management (CAFM) and integrated workplace management system (IWMS) vendors without strong organizational resources or funding.
