On July 22, 2008, Outstart Inc. and Eedo Knowledgeware Corp. combined their operations, making the new company the largest provider of software for creating and sharing organizational knowledge through learning and social collaboration.
The merged company, conducting business as OutStart, immediately becomes the dominant vendor of learning content management systems. The company will use its vision and financial strength to serve the LCMS and learning market, while aggressively supporting the emerging need for a business social software platform to enable effective informal knowledge sharing.
Fasken Martineau was Canadian counsel to Outstart in this transaction with a team led by Michel Boislard and that included, among others, Chloé Archambault, Claude Jodoin and Stephen Kerr.
