DSP-Explorer aiming to extend data management capabilities with Claremont acquisition

It is DSP-explorers fifth acquisition

DSP-Explorer has acquired UK-based Oracle applications partner Claremont in a bid to further expand its data management capabilities.

The MSP says the deal will bring together its Oracle Database technology and cloud skillsets with Claremont's delivery of Oracle E-Business Suite and Private Cloud Hosting services.

DSP-explorer added the move builds on its ‘Oracle Anywhere' strategy, "enabling it to deliver a 360-degrees Oracle services portfolio and form one of the most comprehensive Oracle Partner service offerings in Europe".

"The acquisition reinforces DSP's position as the UK's most experienced Oracle Partner", it said.

Simon Goodenough, CEO of DSP Group, added he was "hugely excited" at the opportunity to work with Claremont.

He said: "We share similar cultural values, especially those of responsiveness and customer success, and both want our businesses to be great places to work for our employees. Where DSP has traditionally been known for its strength in core database and cloud infrastructure, they have been successful in building a first-class Oracle application management business.

"In an industry where both skills and experience are in high demand, this merger allows us to offer a wider variety of complementary services to our customers, whether they are on a journey to the cloud or in the cloud, and whether that have on-premise application workloads, or hybrid models."

Mark Vivian, CEO of Claremont, will join the board of the DSP Group.

He said: "As a provider of complementary services in the Oracle marketplace, DSP-Explorer is a known quantity to Claremont, and a well-respected Oracle partner. I am very excited about the fusion of the Claremont and DSP businesses, combining our applications and technology strengths together with a comprehensive multi-cloud services portfolio.

"The breadth of our combined service offering, along with our shared delivery excellence ethos, will enable us to deliver an even more compelling proposition to customers. I'm looking forward to working with Simon and the team. I think that this corporate union presents a really invigorating opportunity for the Claremont team as we join forces with our new DSP colleagues to help to shape and grow the combined business going forwards."
