Advania, a leading Microsoft partner based in London has acquired UK-based IT solution provider Servium, which has offices in Basingstok, Chessington and Warrington.
The acquisition will expand Advania’s service offerings and enhances its ability to support digital transformation and optimise IT spending for UK clients, especially in the mid-market sector.
Geoff Kneen, CEO of Advania UK, said: “It is exciting to welcome the Servium team to Advania. The combination will allow us both to deliver greater breadth of service and increased value to our clients. The cultural alignment of focusing on clients first and providing a great place to work for talented and ambitious people was clear from the start of our conversations and we are looking forward to what we can achieve together.
Advania customers will be enabled to optimise their IT spend across services, software and hardware using systems and processes which drove Servium’s Net Promoter Score to industry-leading levels, with 80% describing themselves as ‘Extremely Satisfied’.”
Small and medium enterprises make up 99.9% of UK employers. The recent Advania Mid-market Challenges report illustrated just how poorly served many within this backbone of British industry are. Advania’s offerings are tailored to address the need for specific and custom solutions, so with this acquisition, Advania will be able to further address cost, complexity and cyberseurity concerns across a broader portfolio of technology vendors. Leveraging Servium’s experience in serving clients at the larger end of this segment, Advania can deliver robust end-to-end solutions that meet the exact needs of businesses to optimise costs, improve security, and drive innovation.
Paul Barlow, CEO of Servium, commented: “We are delighted to unite with Advania, who share our passion and commitment to service excellence. Together, we can now offer an enhanced range of solutions that touch every part of the modern IT landscape, responding to our customers’ needs to create business value through innovation, increase efficiencies, and harness new ways to consume technology.”
With the addition of Servium, Advania can now provide the UK mid-market with the same level of sophisticated procurement options that the largest enterprises have access to, allowing those clients to focus on transforming their core digital business processes with a single service partner dedicated to client affinity.
