The pandemic will "accelerate the fundamental need for firms to invest in ICT", Adept Technology chairman Ian Fishwick said at its AGM in September, adding that the unified comms specialist is "weathering the COVID storm". Aided by its 2019 acquisition of schools supplier ACS, the AIM-listed Microsoft and Avaya partner saw revenue vault by a fifth in its year to 31 March 2020, with 81 per cent of its £61.7m haul drawn from managed services.
