We are excited to expand our portfolio in these regions and to build upon our track record with Sungard AS.”

We view this latest transaction as an opportunity to continue to serve our customers long-term out of these critical markets, while at the same time fully managing and operating the centers as we do today, but without the need to own the real estate asset.  This transaction allows us to focus our future investments on our solutions roadmap and not the physical building structures.”
