Ektron is Merging with EPiServer

Accel-KKR, the private equity firm that closed 2014 by buying Stockholm-based EPiServer and Nashua, N.H.-based Ektron, today confirmed what CMSWire reported more than seven weeks ago.
It's combining the two web content management systems (CMS) under the EPiServer name to "create the most complete digital experience platform in the cloud."
The news came at the exact time winter storm Juno was pummeling Ektron's New England headquarters — an irony not lost on former employee Fred Bals. Bals, who left Ektron in November after five years as manager of its customer advocacy and media relations programs, said simply, "One natural disaster deserves another."
But not everyone was as pessimistic. Ed Rogers, who joined Ektron shortly after his brother Bill founded the company in 1998, said it was potentially positive news. Rogers, who was fired in 2011 and went on to launch Akumina, told CMSWire, "New leadership signals a cultural change. I'm hopeful the new team will put the customer first, something that should be good for Ektron clients."

Long, Strange Road

Today's announcement ends weeks of speculation over the fate of Ektron, a company that consistently ranked as one of the fastest growing tech companies in New England in the early 2000s before stumbling in the past several years.
The company will, for now, live on as a brand under the EPiServer name — without either Bill Rogers or Tim McKinnon, the man who just weeks ago said he was running the day-to-day operations at Ektron.
