Aabyss Limited Acquires Cisco Partner Netcom Technologies

Aabyss Limited has acquired fellow British MSP and Cisco partner Netcom Technologies for an undisclosed amount.

This is technology M&A deal number 631 that ChannelE2E has covered so far in 2021. See all technology M&A deals for 2021 and 2020 listed here.

The acquisition bolsters Aabyss’ presence in northern England and increases its headcount with all Netcom employees remaining with the company, according to Aabyss.

The deal follows a similar acquisition which saw Aabyss acquire Bolton, England-based Tandem Systems in 2019. That deal saw Tandem’s Adam Warren join Aabyss as chief information officer and Aabyss’ founder and then-CIO Troy Midwood move to the chief operating officer position.
