Why did IHS acquire Intermat? How does this benefit IHS and its customers?
IHS and Intermat have been in a strategic relationship since June of 2003. The acquisition is a natural extension of that alliance. As IHS has begun to expand its Enterprise Solutions Group, it has placed its focus on content, technologies and companies that could assist it in building out its parts management solution. Intermat, the leader in indirect parts management solutions, allows IHS to now offer its customers a solution which is unmatched in the maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) industry today.
