Trimble to Buy Cityworks

trimbleTrimble (NASDAQ: TRMB), a Sunnyvale, Calif.-based provier of advanced positioning solutions, is to acquire Azteca Systems LLC (dba “Cityworks“), a Sandy, Utah-based provider of enterprise asset management (EAM) software for utilities and local government.

The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2019, subject to customary closing conditions and expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act.
