Global Exchange Services announced last week it is acquiring Haht Commerce for $30 million.
Haht develops demand chain software. GXS, formerly part of General Electric, operates a B2B e-commerce network that manages 1 billion transactions a year for more than 100,000 trading partners.
With Haht, GXS plans to deliver a combined suite that includes software to integrate data into and out of back-end systems and management tools to enable accurate publishing and syndication of product information, in addition to its current transaction and trading partner enablement capabilities.
