Two of Swansea’s leading IT firms have merged following a seven figure acquisition.

COMCEN, the Fforestfach headquartered IT company that services blue-chip, public and third sector organisations across the º£½ÇÊÓƵ has acquired Pisys.net, the city-centre based IT support business.

Chief executive of COMCEN, David Matthews, said “We are delighted to have signed the deal that welcomes Pisys.net on board as part of the COMCEN group.

“Recent industry demand has been for technology that enables business mobility and digital collaboration and with this demand comes the need for digital security and support, so bringing Pisys.net on-board completes the package of services we can offer customers.”

With a client base that includes some of the largest government departments, universities and multi-national corporates; COMCEN are major players in the º£½ÇÊÓƵ IT market.

Mr Matthews said:“We offer an extensive range of IT and AV to our clients  and have always seen the opportunity for an enhanced technical support and security arm to our business and with Pisys.net, we certainly have this aspect firmly covered.”

Pisys.net, the IT support company founded by Steve Bain and John Merrick in 2003, provides support, technical help and security to businesses of all sizes from their offices in Swansea, Cardiff and Aberdeen.

Director Mr Bain said: “For seventeen years, we’ve been supporting companies across the º£½ÇÊÓƵ with our IT help-desk services and have a team of over 20 staff that are quick to respond to the IT problems of clients.

“Becoming part of the COMCEN group is the perfect progression for us and having the opportunity to access to the products, resources and support of such a market-leading organisation, and one that is Swansea based, was too good to pass up.”

The acquisition will see Pisys.net relocating to the Fforestfach offices of COMCEN, securing existing jobs and potentially creating new opportunities as they continue to provide IT support and security services to their existing customers as well as servicing COMCEN’s portfolio of clients.
