Atlassian Buys Asset Tracking Company Mindville

Atlassian said Thursday that it's acquiring Mindville, an asset tracking and configuration management company based in Sweden. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Mindville aims to provide enterprises with full visibility into their assets and services, allowing teams to see how various services are linked to the underlying infrastructure.

The acquisition was announced alongside Atlassian's fourth quarter results. The collaboration and productivity software company reported non-GAAP earnings of 25 cents per share on revenue of $430.5 million, up 29% from a year ago.

Wall Street was expecting the company to report earnings of 21 cents per share on revenue of $410.7 million.
