NEWS Computer Associates (CA) has bought two companies - 3Name3D and Viewpoint DataLabs. The acquisitions are part of CA's bid to add further graphics functionality to its flagship Unicenter TNG systems management product and its Jasmine pure object database software. Viewpoint will become a wholly-owned CA subsidiary, and 3Name3D - which was already part-owned by the software giant following a deal in May 1997 - will be folded into the Viewpoint unit. Both companies were privately held. A CA spokesman told Silicon.com: "CA already has the 3D Real World Interface with TNG, and this kind of approach is the way forward in terms of business interfaces." Financial details of the transactions were not disclosed.
