Netrix announced
the acquisition of Edrans, a solutions provider focused on harnessing the
power of the cloud for midsize enterprise clients. The acquisition brings
substantial scale to Netrix's cloud solutions portfolio and adds advanced
technical capabilities to better serve the company's growing global customer
base. Joining Netrix's international team based in the United States, India,
Bulgaria, and the Philippines, Edrans' accredited consultants and developers
serve customers from near- and off-shore delivery centers in Buenos Aires,
Argentina and Barcelona, Spain, with additional personnel in the United States,
Mexico, and Uruguay. The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
"The
cloud is a foundational component of digital transformation. Sophisticated
cloud capabilities and a global delivery model are critical to Netrix's
strategy of supporting clients as they seek to transform and optimize their
businesses and leave behind siloed, inflexible, and expensive IT
infrastructure," said Russell P. Reeder, CEO of Netrix. "The acquisition of Edrans
is a continuation of our strategy to bolster our core pillars of security,
cloud, and IT solutions while also expanding our team of highly talented
personnel across the globe. We are thrilled to welcome our new team members
from Argentina, Spain, Uruguay, Mexico, and the United States to Netrix and look
forward to partnering together to support our clients and foster a culture of
growth across our global team."
Edrans
provides a wide range of enterprise cloud solutions, including strategy,
migration, application modernization, development, recurring cloud managed
services, DevOps-as-a-Service, and cloud cost optimization solutions. Edrans
builds and supports advanced cloud capabilities, including artificial
intelligence, machine learning, the internet-of-things, and advanced data
engineering and analytics. Edrans supports customers in the United States and
globally with a team of over 130 employees, including nearly 120 certified and
accredited cloud consultants and developers with experience across AWS and
Microsoft Azure.
Edrans'
founding partners, Javier D'Ovidio and Martin Bianco, will continue their
oversight of existing Edrans customers and personnel while supporting broader
Netrix growth initiatives, including expanding talent acquisition and training
capabilities in Latin America and Europe, supporting go-to-market efforts
across the combined platform for public cloud solutions.
"Martin
and I are excited for this next chapter as part of Netrix," said D'Ovidio.
"There is strong cultural alignment across our organizations in terms of growth
orientation, a shared customer-centric mindset, and a mutual desire to foster
an entrepreneurial and collaborative professional experience for our
colleagues. We are thankful to our clients, team members, and partners for the
support they've provided to us since we founded the business over a decade ago
and look forward to this next chapter as we enhance the foundation of Netrix's
global cloud solution practice."
"With
the acquisition of Edrans, our capabilities and depth of talent across multiple
public cloud ecosystems have been significantly broadened and deepened,
especially in the areas of application modernization, DevOps, and advanced
cloud workloads," said Don Penland Senior Vice President of
Corporate Development at Netrix. "Our customers are eager to leverage these solutions to add
value and compete more effectively within their end-markets, and with Edrans as
part of Netrix's global platform, we are better suited to serve as their
trusted cloud advisor."
