Tata Communications announced today an agreement to acquire the Mosaic business of the BT Group (formerly British Telecom).
Mosaic is a web portal-based on-demand digital media management platform that manages content and workflow from production to distribution across market ecosystems.
Details of the deal, including the acquisition cost have not been disclosed. The unaudited value of the gross assets that are the subject of this transaction was £0.5 million (Rs 3.7 crore) on September 30, 2009, a release from Tata Communications said.
