Calligo, the Channel Islands-based data optimisation and privacy specialist, has acquired Mico Systems, a Canadian specialist in outsourced IT management for small-to-medium-sized clients.
The purchase of Mico Systems, based in Oakville, Ontario, is seen as a significant step in
Calligo’s continued growth strategy.
The acquisition complements its presence in North America following the October 2017 acquisition of Canadian cloud services provider, 3 Peaks. It also adds new services to the Calligo portfolio – including VOIP and Microsoft Dynamics CRM services.
Calligo Founder and CEO Julian Box said: “We are very excited to have acquired Mico Systems, an outstanding managed services business with a tremendous reputation for service delivery. This acquisition will allow us to add new services to our portfolio and reproduce Mico System’s methodologies and processes for managed services across all our locations, bringing our global managed services to a consistently higher level globally.”
Mico Systems’ customers will also benefit from now being supported by an established, global service provider and from having new services made available to them.
Calligo provides a unique collection of services that cover the entire data journey, with data privacy embedded at every step. These services include public & hybrid cloud, data analytics, artificial intelligence and archival & erasure services, all supported by ‘privacy-first’ data management consultancy and specific assistance with national, international and industry-specific data protection obligations, particularly GDPR and PIPEDA support.
