ANS Group acquires Oxford-based solutions specialist
ANS Group, an IT service management company based in Manchester, expands with the acquisition of Sci-Net Business Solutions.
As a Microsoft Gold Partner, Sci-Net brings a team of 65 consultants, cloud specialists, and developers into the ANS Group. United by shared values and a strong customer-centric ethos, this integration enhances ANS Group’s technical breadth and depth across the Microsoft ecosystem, while expanding its capabilities into Business Central.
Ed Brentnall and Madeleine Andrews from Dow Schofield Watts Transaction Services in the North West provided Financial Due Diligence to ANS Group.
On the transaction, Richard Thompson, CEO at ANS, said, “Our acquisition of Sci-Net is our latest milestone in a strategy that combines strong organic growth with selective M&A activity. Sci-Net’s Business Central expertise will further expand our already strong Microsoft offering. Making understanding customers’ problems the first step to any solution, Sci-Net’s approach aligns with our own ambitions to get all UK businesses ready for AI”.
Our consolidation of some of the sector’s leading Microsoft-focused digital transformation partners puts us in the strongest position to equip organisations across the UK for an AI-enabled future”.
Ed Brentnall, Partner at DSW, added: “Digital transformation is a sub-sector in which we have built strong credentials in recent years; it was great to assist ANS on this deal and deepen our expertise in this area. We wish them all the best in the future”.
