Earlier today we announced that we had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Managed Objects, a market leader in Business Service Management (BSM) solutions.

Novell Tuesday announced it had entered into an agreement to acquire business service management vendor Managed Objects. The financial details of the deal remain undisclosed and it is expected to close early next year.

This afternoon Novell announced it’s intent to acquire Managed Objects, an “independent,” if you will, BSM vendor. Managed Objects’ main trade is in CMDBs and, of late, a Web 2.0 layers on-top of CMDBs, myCMDB (see demo above and overview as well).

Novell Inc. has reached an agreement to acquire Managed Objects Inc., a Virginia-based business service management company.

Novell has agreed to buy Managed Objects, a maker of business service management software. Terms of the deal, announced Tuesday, were not disclosed.
