Siegent plans to use the new capacities to expand its efforts in the online space. The acquisition was funded in part by a cash infusion from Summit Partners, a venture capital firm. A published source put the amount of the infusion at $5 million.
Brian Shapior, president and CEO of Rechannel, is staying with the company. He will serve as the vice president of business development for the eNeighborhoods suite of products.
