Slough, Berkshire, 6th May 2015 – Logicalis has today announced that its UK operation, Logicalis UK, has acquired a company trading as Trovus, who are a leading provider of analytics dashboard solutions to business executives.

The transaction is in line with Logicalis’ go to market strategy, and desire to establish itself as a driving force in the emerging digital markets driven by social, mobile, analytics and cloud technologies (SMAC).

Arnaud Spirlet, Head of European Markets for Logicalis, commented: “Analytics is a crucial element of the SMAC model, since it provides line of business managers with the actionable insight they need to drive business innovation and competitive advantage from disparate business data. This acquisition strengthens Logicalis’ position as a trusted advisor and leading provider of consulting and solution services in a market that, according to ABI Research, could be worth $114 billion globally by 2018.”

Charvet commented: “Trovus and Logicalis have partnered successfully for some time, giving clients the benefits of both highly focused BI consultancy, and the ability to scale organisation wide using Logicalis’ deep technical resources and global reach. The fit is a great one and positions Logicalis perfectly between the pure consultancy firms and the specialist vendors.”
