Synchronica, a mobile synchronisation and device management company, has acquired the intellectual property (IP) and contracts of GoodServer for £500,000

The assets and contracts of the firm have been bought from founder David Rauschenbach. Synchronica previously bought the option for £75,000 cash to purchase the IP assets by November this year.

The remainder of the consideration for the assets and contract comprised £125,000 cash plus £300,000 of shares.

Rauschenbach established the firm near the time of email inception in 1996 as a provider of email enablement and integration technologies.

The IP acquired is an integral part of Synchronica’s Mobile Gateway, the Push Email and Synchronisation solution which enables email to mobile phone use.

Key products of GoodServer include IMAP4 Server SDK, POP3 Server SDK and SMTP Server SDK. The products provide total implementations of the main industry standard protocols of email communication and AGMS, which is GoodServer’s second-generation email middleware server and integration platform.
