As part of the deal, Dye & Durham has signed an agreement with Credas and SmartSearch to ensure a continuity of service for the company’s practice management and data insights customers in the U.K.

Dye & Durham chief executive George Tsivin says while Credas is a valuable business, it is not core to the company’s product offerings. 

The sale comes as the company continues a review of strategic alternatives.
