Western Computer buys Farmington Hills' Madre Software

metromode, 2/19/2009

What was once Madre Software of Farmington Hills is now part of Western Computer of Oxnard, California. And that's a good thing.

The start-up software firm launched in 2007 in Oakland County. Now, almost two years later, the firm has been acquired for an undisclosed sum. Such acquisitions are a key part of the start-up game.

Many entrepreneurs don’t want to make their start-up their career but a relatively quick way to make some significant dollars by creating even greater value. They often take that cash and start new businesses that create more jobs ...and a healthier local economy. This cycle has been a key part of the Silicon Valley culture.

Madre Software focuses on business consulting and custom software development, particularly in supply chain management. The firm specializes in delivering Microsoft Dynamics business solutions.

Western Computer is 20 years older than Madre Software. The firm provides implementation, training, consulting and development services. It has offices in Bellevue, Washington, New York, Pittsburgh, Atlanta and Indianapolis.
