The NASDAQ OMX Group has agreed to acquire Glide Technologies Limited, a London-based corporate communications and reputation management software-as-a-service provider.
Glide’s software will be integrated into NASDAQ OMX’s Corporate Solutions offerings, the company said. Glide’s services include media monitoring, measurement, content management and newsroom hosting.
Demetrios Skalkotos, senior VP, NASDAQ OMX, said the company sees the PR, IR and governance roles increasingly converging, leading to the need for an integrated suite of communications solutions “rather than a variety of siloed product offerings.”
Glide was founded in 2003 and counts Sony, Honda, NBC Universal and PwC among its clients.
NASDAQ OMX handles trading, exchange technology and public company services across six continents, with more than 3,500 listed companies.
