BT picks up Lynx
By Nicole Kobie,
BT has purchased Lynx Technology, a UK IT services firm, two months following a similar purchase of Basilica Computing.
BT said the acquisition would boost its business arm's offering for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
Bill Murphy, managing director of BT Business, said: "Lynx Technology is a very impressive IT services business, with a proven track record of understanding and meeting the needs of SMEs. Their expertise complements that of Basilica Computing and combined with our existing operation will enable us to give our customers genuinely converged communication and IT solutions."
Specialising in consultancy and outsourcing, Lynx was founded in 1973 and has over 500 employees. It had revenues of £47 million last year.
