Computacenter Services has enhanced its datacentre,
remote services and application management offering with the £28m
acquisition of Digica.
Digica is a specialist in IT infrastructure management and
application services for medium-sized public and private sector
organisations.
The acquisition complements Computacenter’s historical focus on
IT managed services to larger organisations.
Digica provides datacentre managed services and SAP/Oracle
application services from purpose built datacentres in Nottingham,
Warrington, Leeds and an off-shore centre in Cape Town, South
Africa.
The addition of a remote management facility in Cape Town builds
on Computacenter Services’ purpose-built service desk in Barcelona.
This provides the firm with a stronger international service
delivery model, said the outsourcer.
The cash acquisition is costing £15.9m, plus the settlement of
£12.1m in Digica debts.
Digica will continue to operate as an entity and the brand will
be retained, said Computacenter.
