Colorado springs— Distribution software vendor NxTrend Technology, Inc. acquired CorpDNA, a Columbus, Ohio-based software company specializing in Customer Relationship Management applications.

The acquisition broadens NxTrend's product offering, giving the firm an immediate presence in the CRM marketplace, said president and CEO Michael J. Cornell. The deal also "complements the overall goals of our continued acquisition strategy," he said.

CorpDNA is a provider of Web-enabled CRM and Sales Force Automation applications and services. The firm serves customers in distribution, as well as professional employer organizations and training and services providers.
