2017-01-10
Polish broadliner ABC Data is planning to launch its own cloud services platform in the coming months. The firm currently offers an e-commerce platform named InterLink, but will now offer its partners cloud services from its vendor portfolio through a subscription-based model. Weiss said the cloud platform - which will be called CloudLink - is still in its early stages of development and could not name vendors involved, but said "dozens" of local and global vendors have already expressed an interest. "It depends on how quickly we will be able to fill the platform with our vendors. It is in the early stages; I am talking to vendors at the moment. The cloud platform will offer a subscription-based service model and give us a competitive advantage in the market so we are able to serve our customers better", said Ilona Weiss, ABC Data's CEO. The cloud platform will become available throughout all of its eight territories upon launch, including Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Slovakia (source: Channelnomics Europe).

After achieving all principles of the agreement, over 80% of shares in the share capital of S4E will be acquired by ABC Data. The remaining shares will be in dispersed ownership of shareholders.

As announced in the strategy of the company for the years 2016-2018, ABC Data dynamically develops its portfolio of specialised VAD products and services. Highly qualified personnel provides the company's partners with professional support in the field of the projects they execute related to, among others, developing modern data centre infrastructure, local computer networks, monitoring systems or designing and implementing dedicated solutions. The decision on the acquisition of S4E S.A. has been influenced, among others, by the huge potential in the development of the area of products and services with added value. As a result of this acquisition, ABC Data will develop a comprehensive and the broadest portfolio of VAD products and services in Poland and in the CEE region.
"The acquisition of S4E will accelerate the dynamic growth both of the activity area concerning VAD products and services and of the whole Group", Ilona Weiss, President of the Management Board of ABC Data, emphasizes.
"Acquiring such a strong strategic investor as ABC Data and the possibility of exchanging the know-how will allow us to perform our business objectives with even higher intensity. I am convinced that, being able to draw on the experience and the distribution network of ABC Data, we will significantly increase the scope of operation in the VAD products and services sector and we will develop the most comprehensive and scalable offering in this area on the market", Paweł Piętka, President of the Management Board of S4E, says.
As a result of the transaction, S4E will operate within the ABC Data Group; however, it will remain a separate entity. S4E has been conducting business for 15 years and achieves very good results – in the 2015 financial year the company has earned €54m sales revenues, €1m operational activity profit and €0.75m net profit. The results of S4E will be included in the consolidated results of the ABC Data Group from the moment of acquiring the controlling interest of shares, which shall take place on 31 March 2017 at the latest.
