MAY 14--Soft Imaging System (www.soft-imaging.com), a 100% subsidiary of Olympus Europa GmbH, has acquired all software IP (intellectual property) assets of aquinto AG.

Soft Imaging System will be offering existing, new, or compatible product solutions to this expanded clientele for maintenance and continued use of their data and/or further development of their applications. The company is convinced that this decision is a major step moving Soft Imaging System closer to its goal of becoming the premium choice for digital imaging solutions.
