SCC has snapped up Civica’s Licensing and Cloud Software Lifecycle (LCSL) business.
SCC gets the LCSL team and its customers, which include local councils, universities and housing associations, plus its partner relationships, with a plan to add those skills to existing software asset management and licensing efforts.
SCC chief executive James Rigby said: “We’re excited to welcome Civica’s talented team into SCC, and we look forward to meeting customers old and new, as this acquisition helps us to drive growth in a key strategic area. The depth of Civica’s knowledge, capability and customer relationships presents a wonderful opportunity to complement our existing software business. By joining SCC, Civica’s team gains access to a larger market and support team.”
“Licensing and Cloud Software Lifecycle services are critical in delivering true business through visibility and control of software assets and cloud deployments. We have successfully delivered software asset management for over 20 years, and we have built a reputation for driving some of the biggest and most complex asset programmes. This acquisition will help us deliver the next phase of growth”, Rigby said.
Civica chief executive Wayne Story said the firm had worked hard to establish itself in the UK market and gain a strong foothold in the public sector space.
“With over 22 years of unbroken growth, fuelled by year-on-year investment, we’ve established ourselves as a leading provider of trusted, innovative software for public sector organisations in the UK and around the world. As the pace of public sector digitisation continues to accelerate, our continued investment in innovative software will ensure we capitalise on these exciting opportunities for growth”, he said.
