Logicalis Sells SMC Consultancy Operation to DXC Technology (MESA)

Logicalis Group, the international IT solutions and managed services provider, today announced it has entered into an agreement to sell its service management consultancy operation based in the Netherlands to DXC Technology. Logicalis SMC will join the DXC Technology ServiceNow practice within Fruition Partners, a DXC Technology company and a leading global ServiceNow platform. This transaction will enable Logicalis to continue to have a trading relationship with SMC whilst releasing funds to reinvest in Logicalis’ core operations and further mergers and acquisitions activity.

The deal will allow the fast growing SMC to grow further with a new owner whose extensive business activities will complement and support the direction SMC is travelling in.

Eugène Wolf, Logicalis SMC CEO, comments: “Our time with Logicalis has been tremendously prosperous, allowing us to double in size and triple our revenues since Logicalis acquired us in 2013. Joining a ServiceNow specialist like DXC’s Fruition Partners allows us to grow our IT4IT-practice even faster. We are very excited about the next phase of our development.”

Talking about the workforce of 184 Logicalis SMC staff he adds: “All the members of our great team will carry on as before and be part of this next exciting chapter.”

Commenting on the deal, Mark Rogers, CEO Logicalis, adds: “This is a win-win deal for all parties; SMC can continue their growth in the service management consultancy and training arena, DXC will add another strong European arm to their operation and Logicalis will release funds to focus on our core business, as we evolve as a leading digital transformation enabler, and on our M&A ambitions. Meanwhile our customers will benefit from the strong relationship we will maintain with SMC.”
