Originally announced back in January, Microsoft has finalized its deal to acquire FAST Search & Transfer, a leading provider of enterprise search solutions. FAST will operate in Oslo, Norway as a Microsoft subsidiary with its CEO, John Markus Lervik, shifting positions to become Microsoft’s corporate vice president of Enterprise Search.
“With our companies combined, we’ll be uniquely able to offer customers what they’ve been telling us they want most — a strategy for meeting everything from their basic to most complex enterprise search needs,” said Jeff Teper, corporate vice president for the Office Business Platform at Microsoft. “I’m incredibly excited to have the talented team from FAST joining us.”
