MONTREAL, Nov. 19, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ – Valsoft Corporation Inc. (“Valsoft”), a Canadian company specializing in the acquisition and development of vertical market software businesses is pleased to announce – as of August 7, 2020 – the successful acquisition of Asteris, provider of Keystone Software Suite, a leading diagnostic imaging and teleconsultation platforms for the veterinary vertical.
Asteris was co-founded in 2004 in Monument, Colorado by Jason Otis who also co-developed and patented the breakthrough diagnostic image transfer technique which became the core of what is now Asteris.

Jason and Angela Otis, and the entire Asteris team are extremely proud of the company they have built, and are optimistic of the company’s future.

We hope to continue Asteris’ strong organic growth and continue to grow through acquisitions and partnerships,” said Valsoft CEO, Sam Youssef.
As Asteris continues to develop solutions to veterinary care challenges, input will continue to be sought from those who face those challenges everyday: veterinarians, technicians, and end-users who are the basis of Asteris’ success over the years.
The Asteris team will remain US-based and Jason Otis will remain on board to ensure a seamless transition and help drive the product and company forward.
