Re:Google SketchUp and Team Being Acquired by Trimble by jpastika on Thursday April 26, 2012 @01:01PM (#3894886)
I have worked with a Trimble distributor for many years, and find this acquisition interesting. Over the last few years Trimble, traditionally a hardware company, has been acquiring various software companies. Internally, they are developing a virtual jobsite platform and I can see SketchUp fitting in with their other BIM technologies. Saying that though, I think the real motivation here is a talent acquisition.
