“Looking more broadly, we are also anticipating this acquisition strengthening our delivery of publicand hybrid Azure services to businesses around the world who are keen to extract the most value from their data,while respecting applicable data privacy laws and data ethics.”

William Shilson, President of Connected Technologies Inc., added: “This acquisition was the result of obvious synergies between our two organizations – strong company cultures, a shared focus on customer centricity and a hunger for innovation. We have seen firsthand the interest that our customers have in the wider services that Calligo offers, particularly in data optimization and also in ensuring that their processes and infrastructure meet their data privacy obligations.

"This acquisition will therefore create a compelling new service proposition for existing clients, while putting Calligo in the strongest possible position to serve the needs of the wider market.”
