The Viatel Technology Group has acquired Dublin based IT services firm SupportIT for an undisclosed sum.

The Dublin headquartered company provides software development and managed IT services to businesses nationally and internationally.

"We are delighted to announce this acquisition, which shows the continued belief we have in our ActionPoint team and business, and points to a bigger growth opportunity for us all," said Paul Rellis, CEO of the Viatel Technology Group.

Today's announcement follows Viatel’s acquisition of digital transformation services provider, ActionPoint, in January of this year.

It said ActionPoint will partner closely with supportIT under the latest deal.

While no financial details of the acquisition have been disclosed, it is understood this acquisition sees the Viatel Technology Group revenues approach €70 million annually.

"We are delighted to be teaming up with supportIT", said David Jeffreys, CEO of ActionPoint.

"Joe and the team have built a reputation for excellent customer service and technical expertise over the last 18 years, and we are bringing ActionPoint’s capability to supportIT’s service offering, while simultaneously expanding our footprint in Dublin", Mr Jeffreys added.

SupportIT was founded by Joe McGivern in 2004.

Headquartered in Dublin and supported by their Sligo office, the company specialises in the design, implementation and maintenance of IT Services for a wide range of businesses.

"We are delighted to be partnering with ActionPoint and the Viatel Technology Group in the next chapter of our journey and bolstering our service offering with Digital Transformation and Software Development expertise," Mr McGivern said.

"This is a very exciting day in the history of our company. From the beginning, supportIT has been focused on helping businesses get more from their IT by providing simplified effective solutions, with a hard focus on superior customer experience," Mr McGivern added.
