Communications provider Welltel has acquired Dublin and Cork-based Strencom, a cloud computing specialist.
Strencom’s 30 employees across connectivity, cloud, sales, and operations will bring the total headcount at Welltel to 180.
It said strencom will continue to trade as a standalone brand in the interim.
The enlarged company now forecasts revenues of €38m this year.
This is the latest deal in Welltel’s 'buy-and-build’ strategy, which saw it acquire contact centre specialist Capstone Intelligent Solutions last month.
Welltel said it will cross-sell to both customer bases following the acquisition.
"Strencom's secure managed connectivity and cloud solutions expertise rounds out our offering for Irish enterprises," said Ross Murray, CEO of Welltel.
"Strencom’s secure data connectivity, cloud infrastructure and managed hosting are new services for the group, and when layered with Welltel’s specialist voice solutions, creates a one-stop provider for business customers," said Mr Murray.
Tim Murphy, CEO of Strencom said the acquisition by Welltel allows them to achieve their ambitions for growth within the Irish market.
"This is a great fit for Strencom staff and customers, as it provides more opportunities for the business as well as offering a greater depth of solutions with the added portfolio of unified communications and IT services that Welltel brings," he said.
