Converged Communication Solutions has snapped up Aberdeen-based IT provider Century Business Systems (CBS), its first acquisition.
The deal, valued at circa £500k, strengthens Converged's in-house service operation.
CBS was established in 1999 by Brian West and Kevin Sinclair and supplies computer hardware, software and technical support to businesses across north-east Scotland.
The firm's entire team will transfer to Converged and relocate to its premises, increasing the workforce at Converged to over 25.
Neil Christie, MD at Converged, said: "This is a notable move for us. To date, we have grown and expanded naturally, so our first acquisition is a major step.
"Brian and Kevin, supported by a talented team, have built a strong business and its integration into Converged will enrich the service that we offer to clients.
"Purchasing new premises, expanding our connectivity network and increasing our skilled technical support team illustrate our commitment to the north east and ensuring that businesses have access to a range of network connections to operate efficiently in it."
