  • Telavox's purchase of Numintec
  • Globant acquires Habitant
  • GIGAS acquires SVT Cloud Security Services

The companies acquired in these operations are Spanish companies.




Telavox acquires Numintec

One of the acquisitions The most interesting business case is the one made by Telavoxa Swedish company founded in 2002 with the aim of making business communications simple and natural. With this in mind, they developed a cloud platform, having complete control over it, unlike many other companies that operate unified communications platforms (UCaaS).

On the other hand, Numintec is a Spanish company based in Barcelona. It is dedicated to telecommunications services consultancy, intelligent communications management, etc. Also founded in 2002, Numintec provides automation in business processes thanks to the incorporation of artificial intelligence.

The main reason for this acquisition, which took place on 11 March, is the integration into a new market (Spanish and even Portuguese) and its consolidation in a growing market, especially in terms of UCaaS, such as Spain. This operation also consolidates a much more powerful product, allowing customers to benefit from a comprehensive communication and a solid mobile offer, as defined by Numintec's CEO, Albino Campo. Finally, Viktor Karlsson, CEO of Telavox, highlights that the Spanish market is perfect for his idea as it is a market that realises the need for mobile communication centre services.
