RWD Completes Sale of Software Products Division to Court Square Capital Partners

BALTIMORE, July 8 /PRNewswire/ -- RWD Technologies, LLC (RWD), a global company that develops and implements human and organizational performance solutions, today announced that it has completed the sale of its software products division and products platform to Court Square Capital Partners (Court Square), a leading private equity firm.  With the acquisition of the RWD software products division, Court Square has created a standalone business, ANCILE Solutions, Inc. (www.ancile.com), which will continue to develop, sell, and support the performance support software products formerly developed and supported by RWD.  In addition, ANCILE will provide those services that directly support the platform, such as implementation, hosting and maintenance services.

"The sale of the RWD software products division is an essential step in the continued success and transformation of RWD Technologies," said Laurens MacLure, Jr., president and CEO of RWD Technologies.  "By decoupling the service and products businesses, both RWD and ANCILE will be better positioned to flourish as the economy continues to recover.  RWD will return to its roots as a consulting business focused on helping its clients maximize the performance of their people and assets through high-value services."

Frank Lonergan, former RWD vice president, product development and product support, is the CEO of ANCILE.  The products included in divestiture are RWD uPerform®, RWD uPerform® Express, RWD uBenchmark®, RWD Info Pak®, and RWD uLearn™.

RWD and ANCILE have also announced that they have entered into a strategic alliance agreement that will offer customers seamless integration of the software and services needed to solve workforce and operational performance challenges.  This agreement includes terms under which RWD and ANCILE will collaborate on the sales, support and implementation of the software products formerly developed by RWD.

"With over 12 million end users around the world, RWD's software products have matured to the point where it makes sense to separate the software products division to enable ANCILE Solutions' singular focus on developing product solutions that support  the performance and productivity of our customers," said Frank Lonergan, CEO of ANCILE Solutions.  "The investment by Court Square allows us to innovate and introduce new technology solutions to meet additional needs in the market."
