Calligo is excited to announce that it has purchased the IT services division of Fusion Systems, the highly respected Guernsey based business serving a wide range of clients.
The agreement is part of Calligo’s growth strategy and gives the business a stronger local presence in Guernsey, enabling it to provide higher levels of service to local clients. Calligo is already well established on the island and operates a large cloud infrastructure hosted in Guernsey and Jersey. This provides a full range of services to worldwide clients as well as supporting a broad range of Channel Islands’ businesses.
All existing Fusion IT Services contracts will continue under the agreement, ensuring that their IT services clients continue to receive full support from local staff, along with new access to the extended capabilities and information security standards that Calligo offers as a global cloud provider.
Fusion’s Fintech software division, that develops and supports software for the offshore financial services industry under the Flyingboat brand, is not part of the acquisition and will continue to be run by the team remaining with Fusion and led by Alan Rowe.
Founded in 2011, Calligo provides trusted, privacy-conscious cloud solutions to businesses across the globe. Calligo’s emphasis on data privacy and residency enables clients to leverage the advantages of combining advanced and innovative Cloud technologies, unrivalled expertise and a commitment to the highest level of standards based compliance and security. The business services hundreds of clients worldwide from its locations in Jersey, Guernsey, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Singapore and Bermuda.
“We’re delighted to acquire the IT services division of Fusion Systems as part of our successful growth strategy,” said Julian Box, Calligo’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are already well-established in Guernsey and this acquisition will allow us to provide higher levels of service to our clients there and give them more regular access to our expertise.
“We know that Fusion’s excellent reputation for customer-focused performance and high levels of service will make this a great acquisition because it gives us a superb team, respected new clients and expands our capabilities even further into Guernsey.
“With the backing of our investor Investcorp Technology Partners, we are actively looking to execute further strategic add-on acquisitions over the coming weeks and months as we continue to expand our global footprint.”
Alan Rowe, Managing Director, Fusion Systems, said: “We are very excited to have concluded this agreement with such a respected and energetic business as Calligo. Calligo’s deep commitment to customer service means our clients will benefit from its proven cloud services and security expertise, while continuing to enjoy the highest standards of local support.”
Calligo will be hosting an event in Guernsey which celebrates this new venture, giving more insights into the features and benefits of the new services to be offered including the launch of the Azure Stack. The event will take place over a lunchtime on the 17th October at The Old Government House. To register for free visit: www.calligo.cloud/guernseylaunch
