The UK’s Cloudreach is set to acquire Relus Cloud, a US born-in-the-cloud consulting services company.
Apparently the cunning plan is to boost Cloudreach’s data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. Relus uses data and analytics to focus on AWS adoption, migration and enablement.
The purchase will bring the UK cloud service provider’s global headcount to more than 700 across Europe and North America.
Aaron Painter, Cloudreach’s newly appointed CEO, said: “Cloudreach and Relus Cloud share a similar culture and a strong sense of purpose.
“Together, we have a significant community of cloud-native talent, proven solutions, and industry experience across North America and Europe.”
The purchase of Relus Cloud is Cloudreach’s third since investment firm Blackstone bought a majority stake in the company last year.
After the acquisition is formalised, Cloudreach plans to use its newest addition to scale “at a level that smaller boutique cloud consulting organisations cannot reach”.
