Fisk Brett, producers of ProgressCRM. Fisk Brett becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary

The executive management team for ASI in Europe will be led by managing director
Niroo Rad, with Fisk Brett co-founder and managing director Robin Fisk taking on
responsibility for business development and Fisk Brett co-founder and technical 
director Ben Brett taking on a role in product development.

Robin Fisk, co-founder and managing director of [Fisk Brett](http://www.fiskbrett.co.uk),
said: “Together, we have more resources to develop, support and service our products,
which means we have an exciting opportunity to build on the many trust-based customer
relationships that we have established in the last 18 years.”

Ben Brett, co-founder and technical director of Fisk Brett added: “Software development
is an expensive business and R&D costs have risen exponentially for all software
companies in recent years. By combining our domain expertise with ASI’s development
resources, we safeguard our customers’ technology investments, ensuring access to
world-class technologies at an affordable price, today and in the future.”

Fisk Brett’s customers include Amnesty International, Sight Savers International,
The British Heart Foundation and The Alzheimer’s Society.

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed, but integration is expected to be complete
by the end of the year.
