Inflexion is pleased to announce that it has acquired ANS, a leading provider of digital transformation and cloud managed services.
ANS and an existing Inflexion investment will be brought together under one parent group to address the rapid market growth opportunity for digital and cloud services. The group will combine ANS’s expertise in public cloud, DevOps, applications, and data with the complementary business’s leadership in private cloud, hosting, and security. Together, they will create the UK’s leading independent provider of secure, cloud-led digital transformation across both the public and private sectors.
Each business will continue to operate under its existing brand, while offering customers the full portfolio of offerings from across the extended group.
Founded in 1996, ANS’s 270 team members enable customers on their digital transformation journey to public cloud. ANS is a key partner to Microsoft and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
As a new UK national tech champion, the combined group will launch a Digital Academy and enhanced apprenticeship programmes, and plans to hire more than 100 new staff over the remainder of 2021 to meet the strong market demand for digital technology and transformation skills.
The investment is being made by Inflexion’s Partnership Capital Fund I and II together with Supplemental Fund IV.
ANS has built itself into a UK leader for public cloud services, complementing our existing investment. Together, the businesses are well poised to accelerate their growth as the market for cloud and digital services continues to benefit from strong demand.
This deal is testament to the skills, experience and leadership of the ANS team whose passion and dedication have allowed us to become a leader in our sector. Inflexion’s initiative provides a platform for us to accelerate our ambitious growth plans.
