ProsoftTraining.com and ComputerPrep
In June this year, ProsoftTraining.com (Nasdaq: POSO) announced that it had signed an agreement to acquire ComputerPREP, Inc. from the privately-held Drake International Technology Group.

ComputerPREP is one of the largest North American publishers and distributors of courseware for information technology, offering over 1,000 titles covering topics such as Certified Internet Webmaster (CIW) certification, A+ certification and Linux courses. CIW is an Internet skills program administered and branded by ProsoftTraining.com

"This acquisition is strategic, tactical and accretive, " said Jerry Baird, chairman and CEO of ProsoftTraining.com. "The expansion of our product line and the addition of a sales force that is already one of the largest players in vendor-neutral certification will afford us broader market opportunity. The minimal account overlap with ComputerPREP will permit us to take full advantage of their strength in the corporate and academic markets. We are especially pleased with the strong market position for A+ certification courseware that this acquisition provides. In 1999, ComputerPREP had over $4 million in revenue attributable to the successful A+ vendor-neutral certification. We now have a more complete offering for our channel."
