Pull, Push, and Merge: Lessons from a Journey of Growth Through Acquisitions

Apryse, formerly PDFTron, has grown rapidly through a series of strategic acquisitions in the document processing space. But growth isn’t just about the technology, it’s about the people, processes, and culture behind it. In this talk, we’ll explore lessons learned from integrating companies like iText, LEADTOOLS, and Scanbot SDK and how navigating differences in engineering practices, team dynamics, and security approaches can spark innovation. Whether you're scaling through acquisition or adapting to change within your own org, this session offers practical insights into building resilient, collaborative, and technically sound teams that can bring your product to new heights.
