On February 5, 2018, we completed our acquisition of the group companies of Apex Optimisation that develop and offer dynamic optimization and advanced process control software and services, including Generic Dynamic Optimisation Technology software or GDOT. The purchase price for the acquisition was $23.0million in cash. GDOT software aligns Advanced Process Control (APC) with Planning & Scheduling, enabling unified production optimization for refineries and petrochemical companies in complex industrial environments. We did not acquire Apex Optimisation’s Australian services operations, which will be conducted by an independent entity under the new name of Greenfern Dynamics Pty.
