Ignition Technology is keeping its identity after being swallowed by Exclusive Networks.
Ignition Technology’s Sean Remnant said Exclusive took a different approach during the take over.
He said that while the competition like to think that when a large distributor swallows you, they can take your portfolio when you disappear.
“That is probably the case in some acquisitions, but that hasn’t been the case here. This is 100% not the case. So we’ve still got separate profit and loss, separate management team. The culture is the same as it was, and we’re trying to build that Ignition entity and take it to EMEA and then take it worldwide.”
One of the ambitions for the business post-acquisition was that it would be able to lean on Exclusive’s global business and expand its operations. That has been happening and Ignition has moved into the Middle East and France with its identity and endpoint security portfolio and is looking to build on that with further geographical expansion next year.
Remnant said: “With a view of taking exactly what we’ve done before, and then taking it to the wider audience, the good thing is we can leverage our big brother for the bits they have got to help us to expand.”
