Little Known UGS company

In May of 2004 a group of private equity firms including Silver Lake Partners, bought UGS corporation. A recent Business Week Article had this to say about UGS

“Silver Lake teamed up with private equity giants Bain Capital and Warburg Pincus to pay $2.05 billion for a little-known software company called UGS“

This was a shock to me, that they thought of UGS as a little-known software comapny. I guess i’m so much involved in the industry that UGS dominates it is hard to see them as little. In the big picture UGS is a little unkown software company, but to the industry they are in, UGS is big. It goes to show how little everyone knows about UGS and their products. Lets change that.

Thought this would be interesting reading about what the future plans may be for UGS in regards to track record of the previous investments by the equity firms that purchased them in 2004.
