Swedish measurement firm Hexagon AB entered into an agreement this week to acquire U.S.-based software provider Intergraph Corp. The $2.1 billion purchase is expected to strengthen Hexagon’s position as a global provider of measurement technologies by integrating Intergraph’s CAD and geospatial intelligence software among its offerings.
