Microsoft solution provider New Signature has just put its John Henry on the purchase of the UK’s Dot Net Solutions.
New Signature provides platform and directory services, systems management and cloud computing. In 2014 and 2105 Microsoft’s named the outfit its US Partner of the Year. Dot Net gained the same title in the UK in 2014.
In North America, New Signature has been bringing enhancements to application migration to Azure, application development and business transformation. Acquiring Dot Net should help larger customers with multinational operations.
In its statement, New Signature hinted at further acquisitions, although more oriented in Europe but it appears to be a fairly low key merger with no rush to restructure. Apparently the two companies are going to keep separate business structures but partner in best practices – at least for now. Jeff Tench, New Signature CEO said:
“Dot Net will retain its local UK operating model whilst quickly taking advantage of the immediate benefits that New Signature, the 2014 and 2015 Microsoft US Partner of the Year, can bring. “Our North American and UK teams will partner to share best practices, innovation and expertise to deliver world-class services to our valued customers. We plan to keep the existing UK business structurally separate but unify under one mission and shared vision,” the company said.
