Winshuttle Acquires ShareVis

Bothell, WA-based business software company Winshuttle is growing again—this time, it’s acquired privately held ShareVis, based in Carlsbad, CA. Terms weren’t disclosed. Winshuttle makes software that lets companies “shuttle” huge reams of data between different programs—for instance, bridging the gap between familiar programs like Excel and sophisticated business-management software from German software giant SAP. ShareVis does something similar with Microsoft products, including SharePoint. Winshuttle says it is integrating the ShareVis technology, and that the employees will stay in place.
