ScanSource, a leading global provider of technology products and solutions, announced the expansion of its capabilities in the cloud and UCaaS space with the acquisition of Intelisys Global, Europe’s first technology services distributor of telecom, connectivity and cloud services. Launched in July 2016 in the UK, Intelisys Global provides sales partners with a portfolio of cloud and connectivity services to sell in a predictable monthly recurring revenue model.
In August 2016, ScanSource broadened its capabilities by entering the telecom and cloud services market in the United States with the successful acquisition of Intelisys, the industry’s leading technology services distributor. As resellers begin or grow their cloud and /unified-communications/ucaas practice in Europe, ScanSource can provide access to telecom, connectivity and cloud services suppliers, in addition to the tools, processes and systems that enable them to sell via the “as-a-service” model.
