ASG Technologies history

The company also launched in 1996 a concerted effort to expand its European business.

By 1997 ASG was generating $23 million in annual revenues and employed some 175 people.

Next, in September 1998, ASG completed two acquisitions.

ASG completed one major deal in 1999, acquiring several mainframe scheduling and intelligent management tools from Computer Associates, which had months earlier picked them up as part of a purchase of Platinum Technologies.

During the course of 2000 ASG opened its 30th international office, adding Sao Paulo, Brazil.

She presented it to her board, which agreed to the sale in December 2001.

Set in the autumn of 2003 to launch its first products to enable business service management, ASG was positioned to continue its impressive rate of growth.

The second strategic product in ASG’s mixed-bag portfolio is the enterprise information management (EIM) platform Mobius, which joined the ASG family with the acquisition of Mobius Management Systems in 2007.

By 2012, however, Allen Systems had come upon hard times, in spite of its 1,100 employees, 70 offices, and 5,000 customers, including blue chips like Coca-Cola , General Electric , and Toyota.

It eventually defaulted on its debt, leading to the exit of Allen in 2014 and a bankruptcy filing.

By the end of 2015, Sansbury had recruited a new executive team, and spent the next three years focusing on remedial engineering, corporate restructuring, and revamping of the company’s distribution channels.
