Advania pushes into Sweden with RTS buy

MSP Advania has acquired large-scale digital transformation provider RTS as part of a cunning plan to enter the Swedish market.

Advania says it wants to become the preferred IT-services provider in Northern Europe and acquire all RTS’s shares from ShortCap and management.

The transaction is expected to close during Q4 2023, if the regulators give it the nod.

For those not in the know, the Swedish privately-owned IT services company specialises in large digital transformation projects and managed services as well as offering hardware and licenses.

After owning RTS, Advania Sweden will enhance its offerings in transformation services, managed services, and VAR.

Advania Sweden CEO Tomas Wanselius said that it is exciting to have the entire RTS team join Advania.

“This acquisition emphasises our goal of becoming the preferred IT services provider and our ambition to help create sustainable value for our customers in their digital transformations,”

RTS CEO Urban Berlinde said: “We’re proud of the robust company and culture we’ve built over the years and are thrilled to combine forces with Advania, a company that shares our focus on culture, customer intimacy, and growth.”
