Prism solutions acquires IT services firm in strategic expansion

In a strategic move to broaden its horizons, Prism Solutions has recently acquired Warwickshire-based Inside IT, an IT services and support provider renowned for its diverse sector involvement. Originally established in the 1980s, Inside IT first made its mark as a software services provider primarily for the automotive industry, later evolving into a multifaceted IT services and support company. Today, it boasts a user support base of approximately 1,600, spanning across sectors like automotive care, local authorities and services, agriculture, and non-profit organisations.

Sam Blundell, the founding director of Inside IT, expressed the criticality of selecting a compatible partner for business continuity, stating, “When looking for a suitable partner to continue your ongoing business, it is important to make the right decision with so many options to choose from.” Blundell’s decision to merge with Prism was driven by a desire to ensure Inside IT’s clients would benefit from Prism’s approach while being serviced to his stringent standards. He added, “Having decided to stay on in the business, I am now looking forward to the next chapter and welcoming new clients as we grow the business.”

Prism’s managing director, Ben Higginbotham, shared his enthusiasm about the acquisition, highlighting the complementary nature of both companies’ approaches to business and client service. He remarked, “There is a unique and shared approach in both businesses, along with excellent personal service to their clients. We look forward to bringing additional knowledge, skills, and capabilities to the team and the Inside IT clients.”

The acquisition aligns with Prism’s aim to expand its reach and capabilities. Since its inception in 2001, Prism has established itself as a provider of comprehensive business IT support and a range of managed technology solutions across the UK. Known for their local presence and feel, Prism has grown organically and garnered accolades for its excellence in client service and philanthropic endeavours, notably through the PETT initiative.

Inside IT emphasised the rapid evolution of technology and the increasing challenges in delivering relevant solutions and developing internal skill sets. The acquisition by Prism is set to future-proof client needs, enhance team skills, and scale service capabilities. Clients of Inside IT can now look forward to benefiting from Prism’s expert guidance, service, and solutions.

As this new chapter begins, both companies are committed to providing their clients with continued excellent, reliable, and trusted service, navigating the ever-changing technology landscape with renewed vigour and combined expertise.
