boxxe, the York-based IT services and solutions firm, has acquired IT infrastructure provider CAE Technology Services Limited.
The acquisition represents an opportunity for boxxe to acquire one of the UK’s leading Cisco partners. CAE is a market leader in networking and security renowned for its deep technical expertise.
boxxe has seen rapid growth since Phil Doye acquired the business in 2019. The acquisition will strengthen its position as one of the UK’s largest providers of software, solutions and services to both the public and private sector.
boxxe’s capabilities within networking and security are strengthened by CAE’s partner accreditations which include being a Cisco Tier One Gold Partner and a Microsoft Tier One Cloud Solution Provider (CSP).
In addition to its presence in the private sector, CAE has a strong customer base in the public sector, particularly within healthcare and education, that will benefit from the additional framework access and public sector expertise that boxxe provides.
Phil Doye, CEO, boxxe, said: “I have followed CAE for many years and continue to be impressed by the organisation’s market-leading practices in networking, security, and cloud infrastructure.
“CAE sets itself apart from the competition with its focus on customer outcomes driven by innovative solutions and managed services. CAE Labs is a great example of this, adding in-house software development capability to enable customers to further transform their IT environments.
“boxxe has to deliver technology solutions that solve critical business challenges and propel our customers forward. This strategic acquisition enables us to do this more effectively. boxxe’s scale and broad portfolio of products and solutions will also bring greater value and relevance to CAE’s many customers.”
