The Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA), the leading trade association representing the information and digital content industry, and Outsell, the voice of the data and information industry, jointly announced today they have settled their legal dispute currently pending in U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia.

“We are pleased to bring this case to a close to the benefit of our members and the business information industry at large,” said SIIA President Jeff Joseph. “Litigation is often business by other means. Our goal from the outset of this suit was to meet our fiduciary responsibilities to our members and protect our business interests. We commend Outsell for negotiating in good faith to reach this joint agreement and resolving this dispute amicably.”

“It is always best to solve disagreements through business negotiations and we are pleased to have resolved this misunderstanding amicably and with the interests of Outsell clients and SIIA members in mind,” said Outsell Co-founder & CEO Anthea Stratigos. “We appreciate SIIA working with us to reach a good conclusion for all.”
