Datatec’s Australian subsidiary, Thomas Duryea Logicalis, has acquired Computer Network Integration (CNI), a Microsoft Certified Gold Partner based in Melbourne.

CNI has been a focussed Microsoft Azure partner since 2012 and is known for its technical expertise, flexibility in delivery and strong customer partnerships. Its annual revenues are approximately $2-million.

The acquisition of CNI with its extensive Azure experience, unique IP and highly prized Microsoft Tier 1 CSP certification will enable Logicalis to compete more effectively in the rapid build and deployment of Azure-based hybrid cloud applications.

Jens Montanana, CEO of Datatec, comments: “The acquisition of CNI brings Logicalis a full suite of leading Microsoft cloud service capabilities, significantly strengthening our position in this growing market segment and enabling us to deliver a broader scope of services to new and existing customers”
