The company, which was established in 1982, will be helmed by its company namesake, executive general manager Craig Somerville.

“Atturra Managed Services will continue to build on the four-decade track record of success that Somerville has achieved in delivering enterprise-grade managed services including cloud, connectivity, modern workplace, security, and hardware and software lifecycle management,” Atturra said in a statement.

The 40 years saw Somerville invest in millions of dollars into its network infrastructure to deliver services to clients.

Atturra acquired Somerville after paying $15 million in cash and 1,647,059 of its shares plus an earn-out consideration of up to $2.6 million.

“Atturra Managed Services is an extremely strategic part of our business that will open up new avenues for innovation and growth and reinforce services delivery to boost growth in supporting large end-to-end projects in key target sectors, including education,” said Atturra CEO Stephen Kowal.

“We are committed to helping clients derive value from their managed IT services to drive successful outcomes for their organisations and the team at Atturra Managed Services looks forward to working closely with existing and new clients to deliver exceptional and positive business impact.”

The newly branded Atturra Managed Services business unit will be supported by the wider Atturra organisation.

“Partnering with Atturra Managed Services within the overall Atturra business is a perfect cultural fit for our long-standing clients and we’re excited to continue our journey with them in the years ahead,” concluded Somerville.
