As a combined entity, Noble Systems/Amcat will have a larger client base, a more diverse and attractive product offer, greater corporate scalability, a more solidified international market position, greater profitability, and increased stakeholder value.

The combining of the two companies represents a significant benefit to the client base of both organizations. James K.

It represents our continuing corporate strategy to grow our business and to give maximum benefit to our stakeholders. We see the synergies of the combined companies as a major benefit for both Amcat clients and Noble Systems’ clients, and we plan to pass on these benefits as soon as possible.”
