Accucast Acquired by Premiere Global Services

E-mail service provider Accucast announced today it has been acquired by business-communications outsourcer Premiere Global Services.

Both companies are headquartered in Atlanta. Financial terms of the deal weren’t revealed. No layoffs are expected.

Accucast is the latest in a series of e-mail service providers acquired by other firms.

Alliance Data Systems Corp.’s Epsilon unit acquired Bigfoot Interactive for $120 million in September and renamed the e-mail service provider Epsilon Interactive.

Earlier last year, Acxiom Corp. acquired e-mail service provider Digital Impact and InfoUSA acquired @Once. InfoUSA aquired Yesmail in 2003. Experian acquired e-mail company CheetahMail in March 2004.

The difference between the Accucast acquisition and the others is that Premiere Global Services is not a database or credit-scoring concern.

Premiere Global Services offers a slew of business-communications services, such as audio and Web conferencing, electronic document management and marketing automation services.

Accucast is being integrated into Premiere Global Services. The Accucast name will disappear. Accucast was a private company. Premiere Global Services trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol PGI .
