The deal for the European IT consulting company Ciber Novasoft could be valued at around US$200-300mn
Infosys Technologies Ltd. is reportedly in talks to acquire European IT consulting company Ciber Novasoft in a deal valued at around US$200-300mn. The Bangalore-based IT major is not the only one interested in Ciber Novasoft. Hence, a bidding war is possible and it may take some time before a final deal is announced.
Infosys is also believed to have short-listed three other companies for acquisition. The company declined to comment on the media reports.
Ciber Novasoft has revenues of around US$420mn, which is down substantially from last year.
