Subject to shareholders' and regulatory approvals, the transaction is expected to close by early 2011.

ATG's President and CEO Bob Burke said that over 1,000 global enterprises rely on the company's solutions.

"This combination will enhance the ability to bring all their commerce activities together ? creating more consistent and relevant experience for their customers across all interaction channels, including online, in stores, via mobile devices and with call centers," Burke noted.
