Chess has acquired telecommunications solutions provider TTNC which is its second buyout in six months.
TTNC provides cloud-based telecoms solutions to businesses, including services including call management packages, cloud numbers, voice over IP services, SIP trunks, call tracking and bespoke telephone answering services.
The vendor’s portfolio spans connectivity, cloud, digital and security solutions, business broadband, telephony, unified communications and professional managed services.
In August it wrote a cheque for penetration testing services firm Armadillo.
The company said the rationale behind its latest acquisition is to enhance its “small business customer experience”.
Chess founder David Pollock said: “We have ambitious growth plans and the acquisition of TTNC sets us up for a great start to the year.
“Small business owners are time poor so need a knowledgeable and efficient technology partner. The addition of The Telephone Number Company will further strengthen our capability to deliver end-to-end services to our small business customers through a fully digital experience.”
TTNC managing director Mark Burcher said: “I am delighted that TTNC is joining Chess at such a pivotal and exciting time in the industry.
“I’ve always admired how Chess is so passionate about their [its, Ed.] vision, culture and values, and how they [it, Ed.] continuously invest in their people, so finding a new home for the TTNC Team and TTNC Customers was an easy choice for me.”
