Meanwhile, the two parties are engaged in what were termed exclusive discussions whose outcome would be reported no later than seven months. Under the current deal, Qurius will market Prodware’s software and Prodware “will build on Qurius’ broad and deep experience with the Microsoft platforms.” The combined revenue for the companies is around $272.2 million and they employ more than 1,600 IT professionals. Two partners operate in 15 countries in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Meanwhile, following a corporate restructuring, Qurius said it expects a 2010 EBIT loss of about $4.2 million, which excludes restructuring charges of roughly $5.1 million.
