Through Noventiq's (formerly known as Softline) acquisition, organisations in the region can now access an expanded portfolio of solutions and services, as well as Noventiq's global talent base. This includes global relationships that Noventiq holds with multiple cloud providers, including Microsoft. Customers in the region can now rely on Noventiq's managed services supported by its Global Delivery organisation and advanced MSP statuses from Microsoft and AWS, and on its advanced cybersecurity capabilities. Customers can also access the company’s software development and application modernization & engineering capability.
Roy Harding, Global CEO of the Noventiq Group said, “This acquisition represents a major development in our three-dimensional strategy that we outlined at our IPO as we are expanding our geographical footprint, and positions us as a leader for digital transformation services in the important MEA region. Our FY2021 results recently showed that we are delivering on our promises to shareholders. The acquisition of Seven Seas is another example of our excellent execution capability.”
Herve Tessler, CEO of Noventiq International commented on the acquisition, “Seven Seas Technology has a demonstrable track record of delivering innovative solutions and managed services in vertical industries, especially using solutions from our joint strategic technology partner Microsoft. The team’s expertise in these areas makes them a great fit with our goals as a global digital transformation solutions provider. The customers and talent in the region will certainly benefit from SST joining forces with such a global player as Softline.”
Nayagam Pillai, CEO of Seven Seas Technology, added, “We started out almost 40 years ago and have built a reputation in our home market for being able to innovate processes and increase overall productivity. Joining Softline presents a great opportunity for our team to apply that expertise to some very exciting projects in the region and beyond.”
