Novosco is set to join the Munich-based CANCOM Group.
The Belfast-based IT service provider, which was founded by entrepreneurs Patrick McAliskey and John Lennon, is being acquired by the multi-national outfit as it seeks to expand in the UK and enter the Irish market.
Novosco currently employs around 300 people and counts a wide range of public, private and voluntary sector organisations among its customers, including several large UK NHS Trusts and housing associations. It has offices in Dublin and Daresbury, near Manchester, in addition to its Belfast headquarters.
CANCOM employs more than 3,500 people worldwide and has a market presence in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Slovakia, Great Britain and the USA. It is an IT solutions provider that supports customers to simplify complex enterprise IT and increase their business success through the implementation of modern technology.
Patrick McAliskey and John Lennon, Directors of Novosco Group Limited said that the deal is a perfect fit for both companies: “This is a hugely positive and exciting development for Novosco, our people, our customers and the communities in which we operate, bringing together two companies with very complementary expertise and very similar cultures, ambitions and outlooks.”
