This Reading-based IT solutions provider recently made its first acquisition since taking on Apse Capital as its private equity backer in 2019, snapping up global cloud services provider Just After Midnight. Counting Check Point, Cisco, Citrix, Dell, HP, HPE, Microsoft, Nutanix and VMWare as its strategic vendors, Ultima is morphing into a vendor itself with its IA-Cloud and IA-Connect offerings. A lack of fresh accounts means we've recycled old numbers for its year to 31 March 2020, when its revenues hit £118.6m.
