Integralis set to cut vendors

Security integrator Integralis is preparing to slim down its vendor portfolio as it pushes for growth

Written by Sara yirrell

The company, which released its first-half 2007 results last week, saw turnover increase slightly by 4.6
per cent to €68m due to continued investment in bolstering its managed services offering. Net profit for the
six months increased 416.9 per cent to €1.6m.

Graham Jones, chief operating officer at Integralis, said: 'We are moving away from a vendor-led approach to a services-led company. We are starting to drop vendors, but are also standardising on some vendors across the whole group.'

Alastair Edwards, senior analyst at Canalys, said: 'Integralis is pursuing a innovative model and is one of the leaders in that space. But being a leader means it has to take all the risk and invest heavily in its strategy.'
