Safestone is the third acquisition for Help/Systems in the last year.
Help/Systems, LLC, a provider of operations, security, and business intelligence software for IBM Power Systems servers running IBM i, announced today its acquisition of Safestone Technologies, a system security software company based in the United Kingdom. Help/Systems is a portfolio company of growth equity investor Summit Partners.
