Leading virtual IT solution specialists, Intercept has acquired ADS Portal in return for share capital. The deal will see the two companies merging their operations.

The former ADS Portal product suite of “Online” products will be retained and will feature prominently within the Intercept managed services portfolio.

Ian Readman, Chief Executive, Intercept, stated: “The strength of ADS Portal’s business model will add further depth to Intercept’s operations, adding an incredibly valuable annuity revenue stream. It also enables us to offer valuable services in the Small to Medium Business space, which will be a welcome addition to Intercept’s existing Enterprise customer offerings. In short, we now have services which cater for all businesses, no matter how large or small.”

The deal will immediately expand business and technical resources, and will provide improved skill sharing and knowledge transfer. Intercept gains an established managed services business with strong annuity revenues, as well as an expanded help desk. The merged business will also develop tighter relationships with their tier 1 suppliers such as Microsoft, Citrix, VMware and HP.

Kevin Bland, Director of Channel Sales UK and Ireland at Citrix stated “This is a great move enabling Intercept to offer virtualisation services built on Citrix technology to both large and smaller firms. By strengthening its managed service operations, Intercept is able to take advantage of the trend to outsource IT, as well as to support customer’s in-house IT teams with specialist virtualisation skills when required for large infrastructure optimisation projects.”
