Marketing management software company Unica Corp. has acquired Pivotal Veracity, an e-mail service provider whose technology helps improve e-mail deliverability, analysis and management.

The $17.8 million deal will add Pivotal Veracity's capabilities to Unica's marketing suite. Besides improving deliverability via readability tests and other means, Pivotal's technology also helps e-mail be properly rendered across a variety of devices and browsers, and minimizes the risk of e-mail being blacklisted, Unica said.
