Hyland, a content services provider based in Cleveland, Ohio, has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Alfresco, a content services platform and solutions provider. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2020. The Alfresco announcement comes within three weeks of Hyland’s announcement of its acquisition of Another Monday, a German-based robotic process automation (RPA) software developer.

Headquartered in Boston, Alfresco develops a cloud-native Digital Business Platform that delivers content services solutions to connect, manage and protect organizations’ critical information. Upon transaction close, the entire Alfresco business is expected to be managed under Hyland Software, Inc.
