Atlanta — April 1, 2011 — Liaison Technologies, a provider of Cloud-based integration and data management services and solutions, has acquired nuBridges Inc., known for its enterprise data security, managed file transfer (MFT), B2B integration and compliance management solutions.

Liaison said that the acquisition will enable new solutions to help businesses move, transform and manage sensitive data quickly, securely and cost-effectively across systems and organizations behind the firewall or in the Cloud.

For over a decade, nuBridges has helped more than 3,000 customers securely move and store information throughout the extended enterprise-departments, business units, suppliers, customers and business partners.
