Microsoft quietly announced Friday that it has purchased privately-held Opalis Software and will integrate its IT process automation products into the Microsoft System Center management suite.

Rumors have been circulating for several weeks that Opalis has been in Microsoft's sights.

Under the terms of the deal, Toronto-based Opalis will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Microsoft, according to a statement. The rest of the deal's particulars were not be disclosed.
