Calian Group has agreed to sell its Houston-based US commercial IT business to Trace3 in a definitive deal.

The unit in question is headquartered in Houston, Texas, and the deal marks a notable strategic shift for Calian.
For those unfamiliar, a "definitive agreement" is basically the serious, legally binding handshake before a deal officially closes — both sides have agreed on the terms, but regulatory or shareholder approvals may still be needed to wrap things up.
