MARKHAM, ON and AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Enghouse Systems Limited (TSX: ENGH)  announced the successful completion of its acquisition of substantially all the assets of Lifesize, a cloud communications company.  The previously announced transaction was approved under a U.S. Bankruptcy Court process for a purchase price of approximately US$ 20.7 million, subject to adjustments.

Lifesize's technology offerings are designed to empower enterprises in managing their hybrid workforces efficiently.
