SCD Advisory is also pleased to announce that Atturra Limited (ASX: ATA), a leading technology services business in designing, implementing, and maintaining IT solutions, has facilitated the exchange of a Share Sale Agreement (SSA) for its subsidiary, Anatas Pty Ltd, to acquire Chrome Consulting Pty Ltd.
CEO of Atturra, Stephen Kowal, said:
“This is yet another exciting acquisition for Atturra that makes us a true market leader in ECM in Australia, an important and growing segment of the IT services market. The synergies between our service offerings and the cultural alignment of both companies are very strong. Chrome’s core offerings and its industry solutions strengthen Atturra’s portfolio, and we see significant upside in the potential to expand into enterprise solutions, something I mentioned in the FY24 Annual Results Presentation.
CEO of Chrome, Mark Frear, said:
“This is an exciting move for Chrome accelerating the next stage of growth as Atturra brings a similar partner-friendly attitude and culture while adding significant complementary capabilities in service delivery managed support and a different customer base. Combined, the acquisition will allow us all to tackle the significant opportunities ahead and deliver even more customer success. With Atturra we can address the SAP ecosystem’s needs more effectively as the deadline for SAP ECC approaches”
