Content+Cloud has bought comms and UC specialist Sipcom to add more communications expertise to Content+Cloud’s existing Microsoft cloud knowledge.
It gives the UK player revenues of £100 million and a staff of 775.
Sipcom’s presence in the US, it gives Content+Cloud a chance to grow its footprint on the other side of the pond.
The SipcomHALOTM platform is a technology that will give its new owners the chance to pitch a unified, secure and resilient architecture.
Daniel Allen, CEO of Sipcom, said: “Sipcom has always punched above its weight as a business. Our close relationship with Microsoft, our track record of deploying services around the world, and our many accolades – including inclusion in the 2020 Sunday Times Tech Track 100 – are evidence of our commitment to excellence in delivering enterprise-class communications and collaboration services.”
Sipcom’s customers include Ralph Lauren, Jim Beam, UBS, as well as a healthy number of government users.
Content+Cloud CEO Peter Sweetbaum said: “Teams is the most important collaboration platform in the market today and will be even more important for businesses over the coming years as new ways of working become the norm. Through the integration of third-party applications and services, and the ability to utilise the power of Azure Cognitive Services and Microsoft Graph to surface rich content and provide deeper insight for customers, Teams will continue to be the most powerful front end to user experience.”
