Austin, Texas — Versata Enterprises Inc., an Austin, Texas-based provider of enterprise software solutions, announced the acquisition of Westminster, Colo.-based Clear Technology Inc., a provider of business process automation solutions for the financial services and insurance industries.

Versata will rollout its market-leading customer success program to Clear customers, thereby emphasizing Versata’s intense focus on aligning investments with customer priorities.

"The acquisition of Clear Technology extends our proven solution set for the insurance and brokerage industries into the claims, policy administration and underwriting areas of the business," says Chris Smith, COO of Versata Enterprises. "Our combined solution set will position Versata to offer powerful, modern back office solutions demanded by the world’s largest insurance and brokerage companies. We believe we have the most efficient and capable global organization in the world, and we leverage that capability to deliver customer success. Versata has a long history of operational efficiency enabling us to deliver the unexpected and we will continue that tradition with Clear."

Versata will combine Clear's operations with its headquarters in Austin. Additionally, over the next few weeks, Versata executives expect to meet with Clear’s customers to emphasize Versata’s commitment to continuity, describe the benefits of the customer success program and formulate a plan to ensure continued mutual success, according to Clear.
