Jersey-based cloud solution provider Calligo has acquired Canadian cloud service provider 3 Peaks. The acquisition of the Vancouver-based business is the latest step in Calligo’s ongoing expansion. Just last month, the British CSP announced the acquisition of AMS Systems PSF, a highly respected Luxembourg based IT Services business that provides managed services and cloud infrastructure to the financial services sector.
Founded in 2011, Calligo provides trusted, privacy-conscious cloud solutions to businesses across the globe. Calligo’s emphasis on GDPR services and data residency enables clients to leverage the advantages of combining innovative Cloud technologies, unrivalled expertise and a commitment to the highest level of standards based compliance and privacy. The business services hundreds of clients worldwide from its locations in United Kingdom, Jersey, Guernsey, Switzerland, Singapore, Bermuda and now Luxembourg.
The latest acquisition will give Calligo a foothold in North America as it continues to grow across the world. All existing 3 Peaks clients will now have access to the extended capabilities and data privacy enabled services that Calligo offers as a global cloud provider.
“We’re delighted to have acquired 3 Peaks as part of our continuing growth strategy,” said Julian Box, Calligo’s Chief Executive Officer. “We now have a firm focus on North America and this acquisition will allow us to provide our unique GDPR-enabled infrastructure and services to clients based there. We know that 3 Peaks’ excellent reputation for customer-focused service delivery will make this a great acquisition, giving us a superb team, respected new clients while expanding our capabilities into this exciting market.”
Ian Clark, CEO, 3 Peaks, added: “We are very excited to have concluded this agreement with such a respected and innovative business as Calligo. Calligo’s deep commitment and understanding of data privacy means our clients will benefit from their expertise and unique service offerings, while continuing to enjoy the highest standards of local support. With the backing of our investor Investcorp Technology Partners, we are actively looking to execute further strategic add-on acquisitions over the coming months as we continue to expand our global footprint.”
