THE PARCELING OF TECTURA Featured

Uwe Bergmann, Cosmo ConsultThe dismemberment of the remnants of Tectura continued this summer while I was somewhat distracted. The North American part of what was once the country’s largest financial application reseller was sold to Australian UXC Eclipse earlier this year. Early in June, QuantiQ Technology, formed for the purpose, acquired Tectura U.K. The QuintiQ website actually headlines the deal as “Tectura rebrands to QuantiQ”, which seems to miss some of the flavor of what happened. Later that month, the Cosmo Consult Group picked up a chunk of Tectura EMEA: the businesses in France, Germany, Sweden and Switzerland. Cosmo Consult sells products for discrete and project manufacturers and project manufacturing, including life sciences, based on Dynamics AX and NAV.

It also peddles QlikView.  Cosmo Consult was founded in 1996 as a Navision Solution Center and was acquired by Tectura in 2004, with the American company also buying a majority interest in the Berlin and Dresden Cosmo companies. The shape shifting continued when those last two operations left Tectura in 2011, and resumed their Cosmo identities. Cosmo founder CEO Uwe Bergmann became a Tectura director in 2009 and in 2011, rejoined Cosmo. In July, Cosmo moved in to Spain by establishing an office in that Barcelona. This appears to leave the rest of Tectura EMEA and the Asia business, which I understand is fairly substantial. I notice the website still has the tagline “Tectura, a Growing Company, a Partner for Life”.
