Verisk (VRSK) to Acquire SAP’s Content as a Service (CaaS) Business to Strengthen Partnership

Verisk, a leading data analytics provider, and SAP SE (NYSE:SAP) recently announced they have entered into a strategic partnership to codevelop the next generation of product compliance solutions.  The partnership agreement is strengthened by Verisk signing a definitive agreement to acquire SAP’s Content as a Service (CaaS) business, which includes the Environmental Health and Safety Regulatory Content (ERC) and Environmental Health and Safety Regulatory Documentation (ERD) teams and data assets.

The business will become part of Verisk 3E, a Verisk business focused on providing intelligent compliance solutions in the environmental health and safety (EHS) and product compliance space. The acquisition significantly accelerates Verisk 3E’s efforts to become the premier provider of integrated content, expertise, and services for the EHS and product compliance industry and expedites its growth strategy. Both the partnership and the acquisition extend Verisk 3E’s global customer footprint and European operations.

The partnership expands Verisk 3E’s ability to power SAP’s Product Compliance platforms (including the respective parts of S/4HANA) with regulatory content and business logic. Streamlined access to critical regulatory data will benefit Verisk 3E and SAP joint customers by improving consistent compliance with changing global regulations and accelerating the development and launch of safe, innovative products.

The transaction is subject to the completion of customary closing conditions.
