Mode Solutions acquires eacs

MSPs
Mode Solutions has acquired Cambridgeshire-based managed services provider eacs.

The move aims to enable UK businesses of all sizes to access an extensive range of digital transformation services and solutions from a single source. The enlarged business is supported by a debt refinancing through BlackRock with additional acquisition funds available from both BlackRock and Connection Capital.

Established in 1995, Mode Solutions began as a provider of document management solutions. In December 2019 the company diversified through the acquisition of Nix Communications to incorporate unified communications and network services. 

With this new acquisition, Mode strategically expands its capability into IT managed services as well as expanding its geographic reach and scale to more than twice existing revenues. The newly combined organisation has plans to rebrand in the coming weeks.

eacs delivers managed IT services and solutions to a range of customers including the University of Cambridge, Development Bank of Wales and Kwik-Fit. As an approved supplier on the G-Cloud Digital Marketplace and NHS Shared Business Services, it also provides access to public sector procurement frameworks for cloud services.

The MSP’s accreditations include multiple Microsoft Gold competencies, Cyber Essentials Plus, Apple Services, a 24/7 Network Operations Centre and Security Operations Centre, and a number of ISO certifications.

Alex Tupman, CEO of Mode Solutions, said, “An acquisition of this size and quality further demonstrates our growth ambitions and evolution from our heritage, as well as delivering on our strategic objectives to offer a full trifecta of digital services to UK businesses from a single source with a reputation for providing an outstanding customer experience.”
