Kelway has scored an acquisition hat-trick in 2009 by grabbing software asset management (SAM) specialist SAM Practice.
The VAR said the acquisition will further strengthen its portfolio of software and managed services and is the result of a growth in demand for SAM from its customer base.
SAM Practice is the third acquisition for Kelway this year. It bought Repton for an undisclosed sum in the summer, and earlier this year grabbed Panacea. The acquisitions form part of Kelway's master plan to hit £250m revenues within three years.

Jason Allaway, chief executive of SAM Practice will take the role of head of software at Kelway as a result of the acquisition.
Allaway said in a statement: "Kelway has built an impressive business and we are excited to be joining the company. We have worked hard to define a comprehensive range of services to help business efficiently and cost-effectively manage software licensing, compliancy and risk.
"These services bring new capabilities to the Kelway portfolio and are a natural fit, enabling both companies to offer more to existing customers and take advantage of new opportunities throughout the UK.”
Phil Doye, chief executive of Kelway, said: "Companies are looking harder at their assets and Kelway is committed to helping customers extract as much value from their businesses as possible.
"The acquisition of SAM Practice adds a vital new dimension to our service offering. The SAM team brings a wealth of licensing and software management experience and we are now in a position to help our customers make significant cost savings across their IT estates,” he added.
