Help/Systems, a leading provider of systems management, security, and business intelligence software, today announced it has completed the acquisition of Network Automation Inc. (NAI) and its award-winning automation software platform, AutoMate. With this acquisition, Help/Systems offers one of the industry's most comprehensive IT and business process automation portfolios with virtual and cloud-based technology, as well as a broad set of application integrations.

For current Help/Systems customers, the AutoMate platform offers an intuitive drag-and-drop interface for non-programmers to manage cohesive, executable workflows across disparate applications and technologies.

"AutoMate's unique blend of intelligent technology, application integration, and ease of use helps us move our job scheduling offerings into the business process automation space," said Janet Dryer, CEO of Help/Systems. "In turn, we plan to invest in the enhancement of AutoMate's functionality and integration with current Help/Systems products."

AutoMate customers will also benefit from Help/Systems' broad portfolio of systems management solutions, and the company's focus on customer satisfaction through world-class service and support.

"Network Automation experienced its best year in 2013 with a growth rate of over 20 percent," said Dustin Snell, CEO and Founder of Network Automation, Inc. "Now, with the resources and support of an organization like Help/Systems, the AutoMate platform can continue to lead the industry and become a global provider in the automation software space."

Help/Systems has a rich history of aggressive growth through acquisitions. With the acquisition of NAI—one of the fastest growing privately held automation software companies in the U.S.—Help/Systems now has a global customer base totaling over 9,000 organizations.
