15.2.2021 14:00:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
Quorum Software ("Quorum"), a world leader in digital transformation for the energy industry, today announced two major transactions that will result in the creation of the world's largest software provider of business workflows focused solely on energy.
Quorum will merge with Aucerna, a globally trusted provider of integrated planning, execution and reserves software for the energy industry. The deal will combine two Thoma Bravo-owned industry leaders with a shared focus on driving digital transformation and complementary customer offerings.
Also announced today, the newly combined company, operating as Quorum Software, has entered into an agreement with TietoEVRY to acquire TietoEVRY's entire Oil and Gas software business, which includes the leading Energy Components hydrocarbon management solutions and DaWinci solution for personnel and materials logistics. Terms of the transactions were not disclosed.
The combination of Aucerna, Quorum and the TietoEVRY Oil and Gas software business will bring together highly complementary workflows, mission-critical technologies and unmatched global expertise. It will position Quorum as a global leader for energy software across the upstream, midstream and downstream sectors of the energy value chain. Following the acquisition, Quorum will be the largest software provider with the broadest portfolio of solutions focused entirely on serving energy companies of any size across the globe.
Gene Austin will serve as CEO of the combined company, and Wayne Sim, CEO and co-founder of Aucerna, will be appointed to its board of directors.
"Over the last 20 years, Quorum has become the leading innovator of software deployed by North American energy companies," said Austin. "Today Quorum is expanding the scope of our technology and expertise to all energy-producing regions of the globe. Customers everywhere will have access to a cloud technology ecosystem that connects decision-ready data from operations to the boardroom."
"Our three organizations complement each other — from the software that our great people design to the energy markets where we operate," said Sim. "Our new company will be able to deliver value to our stakeholders, while accelerating the growth of our combined business and the energy industry's software transformation."
"Quorum and Aucerna are industry leaders that have each spurred significant innovation and digital transformation in the energy industry," said Scott Crabill, a Managing Partner at Thoma Bravo. "By combining these two fast-growing and highly complementary businesses with TietoEVRY’s Oil and Gas software business, the new Quorum will have significant global scale and an unparalleled product portfolio that meets nearly every need within the energy value chain. We look forward to continuing to work closely with Gene, Wayne and the Quorum team in this exciting next chapter of the company's growth story."
The combined company will serve more than 1,800 energy customers across 55 countries. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, Quorum Software will have offices located throughout North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and the Asia Pacific. Quorum will continue to have a significant presence in Calgary, Alberta, the headquarters of Aucerna, and in Norway, the Energy Components/DaWinci software headquarters.

Tanner Pharma Group and Biodexa Launch Global Early Access Program for FAP Patients31.3.2026 15:00:00 EEST | Press release
Tanner Pharma Group, a global provider of specialty medicine access solutions, and Biodexa Pharmaceuticals PLC (Nasdaq: BDRX), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative products for gastrointestinal cancers, have announced a strategic partnership to enable global access to eRapa for patients with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) through an Early Access / Named Patient Program. FAP is characterized by a proliferation of polyps in the colon and/or rectum, usually occurring in mid-teens.

Through this collaboration, Tanner Pharma will facilitate compliant, controlled access to eRapa
