UK software reseller Blue Rock Systems acquired by Intact
Blue Rock is Intact’s second software business acquisition in England
Software and technology solutions provider Intact has acquired UK-based software reseller Blue Rock Systems.
The Southampton-based software house has been reselling, implementing and supporting Intact ERP systems for over 16 years.
Intact CEO Justin Lawless said the move will "strengthen Intact's market share across the target verticals in which it operates and will bolster the company's talent pool" to support growth plans for Ireland, the UK and global markets.
"The acquisition of Blue Rock Systems is part of Intact's strategy to become the leading provider of ERP and business software solutions in the merchant and distribution sector," he added.
"This important development adds to our strong customer base and involves a team of highly skilled individuals, with deep software industry expertise, who will enhance customer service and support our growth plans."
Blue Rock is Intact's second software business acquisition in England - in 2016 the software company acquired Ramtac, another of its UK VAR partners.
Blue Rock's full team has been retained as part of the acquisition deal, which will see Intact employee numbers increase from 200 to 243 staff across Ireland and the UK.
Lawless added: "Blue Rock Systems grew revenue 30 per cent last year, returning double digit profit growth. Its 43 staff and senior management are all vastly experienced in the software industry and, working collaboratively as part of Intact, will add immense value to our product and service offering."
George Troullis, founder of Blue Rock, will oversee the business incorporation.
He said the deal will see "combined expertise strongly boost customer resources", with the "synergy being excellent".
"This acquisition will see existing and new customers benefit from an expansion of services and improved processes, with an integrated team sharing best practice to ensure we maximise Intact market performance," he said.
