What is the future for Pulse software? Pulse software is part of
Pulse. It has been reported in the industry that the Blackstone Group is in talks
to acquire Pulse. The history of Pulse is that it was bought by HgCapital for £67m over ten years ago. It is
also reported that Hg has been preparing Pulse for an IPO in the
region of £100m plus slated for next year. Either way HgCapital are
looking to unload Pulse and from the known figuers, taking
inflation into account, this does not look an especially good
return on investment. Blackstone also recently bought ICS so
economies of scale look likely.
