    Infor, which completed its $1.6 billion acquisition of SSA Global just last Friday, said today that it is acquiring yet another software company -- Extensity, a developer of financial and other software products for mid-market companies.

    Extensity had been part of Geac Computer Corp., which was sold last November for $1 billion to private equity firm Golden Gate Capital, Infor's major backer. At that time, Infor only bought a select number of Geac's software products which did not include Extensity's offerings.

    Today, Infor said that, through a financial transaction that involved a recapitalization of Infor to complete its acquisition of SSA and a transfer of Extensity-related equity and debt, it had acquired Extensity and a U.K.-based financial and performance management software provider called Systems Union Group, which itself was acquired by Extensity in April.
